The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned today (5 May) about the formation of a cyclonic storm - Cyclone Mocha - in the southeast Bay of Bengal, which is expected to make landfall on the eastern coast of the country, and possibly in Bangladesh, between 7 and 9 May.
"A cyclonic circulation is likely to develop over the southeast Bay of Bengal around 6 May. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the same region around 7 May," IMD tropical weather outlook reported.
It warned that this may concentrate into a depression and intensify into a cyclonic storm around 8 May.
