Tamil Nadu unlikely to see significant impact of severe cyclonic storm brewing over Bay of Bengal
A severe cyclonic storm brewing in the Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify by November 18 but is unlikely to significantly impact Tamil Nadu. The storm is projected to move toward coastal Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, with only light rainfall expected in parts of Tamil Nadu.
Why it matters
Accurate weather forecasting is critical for disaster preparedness and public safety in coastal regions prone to cyclonic activity.
CHENNAI The weather system brewing over the Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by November 18. However, Tamil Nadu may remain largely on the fringes of its impact, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC). The season’s third cyclone is also likely to bypass Tamil Nadu and impact coastal Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. The current weather predictions indicate that the well marked low-pressure area over southeast Bay of Bengal is expected to gain strength as a cyclonic storm over the central parts of south and adjoining westcentral Bay of Bengal around November 16 evening. It is likely to further intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by November 18.
