The Low Pressure Area (LOPAR) that is likely to develop over the north Andaman Sea on Monday (November 4) would later progress into a cyclone in the Bay of Bengal.
The cyclone is likely to move towards the northern Odisha coast and may hit between Jagatsinghpur and Baleswar by November 10 to11.
And if the wind models of Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences are to be believed, the models suggest that the system may make landfall in and around the False Point in Kendrapada district. As per the wind models forecast of INCOIS, the low pressure system would develop into a tropical cyclone and move towards the Odisha coast.
Significantly, the period from October to November has been the cyclone season in the Bay of Bengal. But after Fani in May this year, the Bay of Bengal has been relatively quieter in 2019 till date when the usually cooler Arabian Sea has brewed up two cyclones Kyarr and Maha in quick succession.
