Why it matters
Frequent severe weather events in the region pose significant risks to life, infrastructure, and the livelihoods of coastal communities.
A new cyclonic storm, likely to be named 'Senyar', is brewing in the Bay of Bengal. Under the influence of an upper-air cyclonic circulation, a low-pressure area formed over the Southeast Bay of Bengal on Friday, signaling the start of a rapidly evolving weather system.The system is likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a well-marked low-pressure area by Saturday, followed by a depression over the same region by Sunday morning. It is then likely to move north-northwestwards and may intensify into a cyclonic storm over the central Bay of Bengal by Monday evening.This comes two weeks after cyclone 'Arnab' hit India and made landfall as a "very severe" cyclonic storm, the third-highest category on IMD's scale.
