Cyclone Yash

 After Cyclone Tauktae battered the states along the west coast, another cyclone is likely to hit the east coast by May 26, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday.


Coastal areas of Odisha and West Bengal will receive heavy to very heavy rainfall in most places from the evening of May 25, said RK Jenamani, senior scientist, IMD.

Jenamani said a cyclonic system was developing in the Bay of Bengal near the Andaman Sea. "On May 22, the cyclonic circulation will start as a system. The next day, it will start moving in a north and north-west direction," he said.

“Through Sunderbans the cyclone is likely to enter bringing high to very high rainfall in parts of South Bengal. Through West Bengal the cyclone Yash is likely to go towards Bangladesh. However, the actual movement of the cyclone can be monitored only before 48 hours of the development,” mentioned sources of the Met office.

Notably, last year amidst lockdown super cyclone Amphan had brought in very severe rainfall to West Bengal including Kolkata and has damaged several things in the Sunderban area as even Amphan marked its entry through Sunderbans and after being weak entered Bangladesh.
