Asani intensifies into cyclonic storm: Odisha, Bengal brace for impact

-IndiaToday.in

Cyclone Asani, formed over the southeast Bay of Bengal, further intensified into a severe cyclonic storm on Sunday evening as it moved northwestwards in the direction of north Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coast.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said that Cyclone Asani, formed over the southeast Bay of Bengal, further intensified into a severe cyclonic storm on Sunday evening. The cyclone moved northwestwards in the direction of the north Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coast, the Met department said.

Earlier, a bulletin issued by the weather department said, "The cyclonic storm ‘Asani’ over Southeast Bay of Bengal moved nearly northwestwards with a speed of 14 kmph during the past 6 hours, intensified into a severe cyclonic storm and lay centered at 1730 hours IST of today, the 08th May, over Southeast and adjoining East Central Bay of Bengal, near latitude 12.2°N and longitude 88.2°E, about 610 km northwest of Car Nicobar (Nicobar Islands), 500 km west of Port Blair (Andaman Islands), 810 km southeast of Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and 880 km south-southeast of Puri (Odisha)."

The severe cyclone is very likely to recurve north-northeast wards and move towards northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha coast on reaching west central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal off north Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coasts on Tuesday, the Met said.

IMD Director-General Mrutunjay Mohaptra said that the system will not make landfall either in Odisha or Andhra Pradesh. "The cyclone will move parallel to the east coast and cause rainfall from Tuesday evening," he said.
