The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted, the depression over the westcentral Bay of Bengal may intensify into a cyclonic storm
Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted, the depression over the westcentral Bay of Bengal may intensify into a cyclonic storm.
“It is likely to further intensify into a deep depression during next 24 hours. It is likely to move northwestwards during next 12 hours, then recurve and move north-northeastwards during subsequent 3 days towards Bangladesh and adjoining West Bengal coasts,” the agency said in its bulletin, this morning.
As per IMD, the depression now lies centered some 610 km south of Paradip (Odisha), 760 km south of Digha (West Bengal), and 980 km south-southwest of Khepupara (Bangladesh). It is likely to further intensify into a deep depression during the next 24 hours.
Under the influence, a few places in coastal districts of Odisha are likely to receive light to moderate rainfall on October 23, 24 and 25, the agency predicted.
As wind speed is likely to increase, the sea conditions are likely to remain rough and hence the fishermen from Odisha have been urged to return to the shore.
