Tropical cyclone forms in the Bay, won't hit India

The expected tropical cyclonic storm over the southeast Bay of Bengal has been confirmed. It's movement has been tracked by Skymet Weather to be moving in a north-northeast direction to possibly hit Myanmar in days to come.

According to Mahesh Palawat, head of forecasting at Skymet weather, “the international models have confirmed the formation of a tropical cyclone that will move in a north-northeast direction and could bring inclement weather in Myanmar in coming few days.

“After the formation of low pressure in southeast Bay of Bengal, the first of the pre-monsoon season, the weather system was widely tracked in a sense that it could impact east coastal areas of India from Tamil Nadu to West Bengal coast. But going by its (Tropical cyclone) current path, it will not affect east coastal areas in India,” said Palawat.
