Cyclone Asani Towards West Bay of Bengal
Cyclone Asani is expected to shift course and head towards West Bengal, causing greater damage than previously projected.
Around May 10 evening, the first storm of the season is expected to reach the north Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coast. “Thereafter, it is highly likely to recurve north-northeast and travel towards northwest Bay of Bengal, off the coast of Odisha,” according to the most recent IMD cyclone communication.
“Though Asani is likely to recurve towards West Bengal, the possibility of major damage in the state is low at this time,” said G.K. Das, the head of IMD Kolkata, on Saturday. “The cyclone system will probably lose steam due to multiple factors, including dry wind from land and not-so-high sea surface temperature.”
The Indian Meteorology forecasts significant rain on the West Bengal coast, according to the official. According to the official, the chances of strong gusts or a storm surge are less likely.”At 11.30 a.m. today, the well-marked low-pressure region over the southeast Bay of Bengal… condensed into a depression… On May 8, it’s highly likely to keep moving and intensify into a cyclonic storm over the eastcentral Bay of Bengal.
It is quite likely to continue northwestwards until May 10 evening, when it will reach westcentral and adjacent northwest Bay of Bengal, off the coastlines of north Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, Meteorologist predict that the “recurve” will occur after that, around next Wednesday.
