The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted the formation of a severe cyclonic storm over the northwest Bay of Bengal, crossing North Odisha and West Bengal coasts between Puri and Sagar island on Thursday, October 24.
In its latest press release, IMD stated that yesterday’s deep depression over eastcentral Bay of Bengal moved west-northwestwards with a speed of 18 kmph during the past 6 hours intensified into a cyclonic storm 'DANA' and lay centred at 0530 hrs IST of today, over the same region about 560 km southeast of Paradip (Odisha), 630 km south-southeast of Sagar Island (West Bengal) and 630 km south-southeast of Khepupara (Bangladesh).
It is very likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a severe cyclonic storm over the northwest Bay of Bengal by the early morning of October 24th and cross north Odisha and West Bengal coasts between Puri and Sagar Island during the night of October 24th to morning of October 25th as a severe Cyclonic Storm with a wind speed of 100-110 kmph gusting 120 kmph.
Cyclone Dana is set to make landfall along the Odisha-West Bengal coast between Puri and Sagar Island on the night of October 24 and early morning of October 25.
Cyclone Dana, is a name proposed by Qatar, in line with the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) guidelines on naming cyclones. It means "generosity" in Arabic. The name is part of the new list of tropical cyclone names adopted by WMO/ESCAP Panel member countries in April 2020 for the naming of tropical cyclones over the North Indian Ocean including the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. It will be the first cyclone to hit the Indian coast after the withdrawal of the Southwest Monsoon and the simultaneous arrival of the Northeast Monsoon.
The above map (from windy.com) shows the current location of Cyclone Dana and the possible route it will follow for the next 2-3 days.
