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.
