The tropical low that has been slow to develop in the Bay of Bengal, organized into a cyclonic storm on Saturday. This cyclone is likely to strengthen into a dangerous cyclonic storm in the coming days.
The low has churned at a glacial pace near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands since last week. Here it brought some locations, including Banda Aceh, a total of 11.89 inches of rain (302 mm) in just a few days.”There is now a well-defined low circulation around the tropical low in the Bay of Bengal, showing it is slowly starting to strengthen,” said Lead International Meteorologist.
Late in the day on Thursday, local time, the India Meteorological Department designated this storm as a well-marked low, signaling that this feature continues to organize.On Saturday, the system quickly strengthened from a depression to a deep depression to a cyclonic storm. The storm was given the name Amphan.
Traveling through a region with warm waters and low wind shear, the system is likely to continue strengthening in the coming days.
Meteorologist thinks the storm can reach the intensity of a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale) likely track appears to be to the north which will put northeastern India and Bangladesh at the greatest risk of life-threatening impacts.
