The Low Pressure Area over southeast Bay of Bengal on April 7 and depression on May 8 , with further intensify into a cyclonic storm on May 9 and Severe Cyclonic storm on May 10.
 
The cyclonic storm will move nearly north-northeastwards towards East central Bay of Bengal till May 12 next.
 
Met sources said currently, easterly winds (1-3 mps) are likely to prevail over south andaman sea and south Bay of Bengal in the lower tropospheric levels.
 
Thereafter, the westerly winds are likely to prevail over the south bob and South Andaman sea with easterly winds over central & north Bay of Bengal
 
The tropical cyclone heat potential (tchp) is more than 100 kj/cm2 over major parts of South Andaman sea & adjoining southeast bob and central Bay of Bengal
 
It is indicating a decreasing tendency about 60-70 kj/cm2 along the east coast of India & along the Myanmar coast.
 
Sea surface temperature (sst) is around 30-32°c over the entire Bay of Bengal . The sea conditions over Bay of Bengal are also conducive for cyclogenesis.
 
All models are unanimously indicating nearly northwards movement. Hence to conclude, a cyclonic circulation is likely to develop over southeast Bay of Bengal around May 6,IMD said. (UNI)
