After Nilam Cyclone now new cyclone form in Bay of Bengal.

Met officials said there is a system over the Bay of Bengal that looks like it could intensify.

The deep depression is 1,000km in the east-northeast of Chennai. If it intensifies into a cyclone, it will be named Mahasen. 

Met officials added the system would intensify further into a cyclonic storm and slowly move west-northwest over the next 12 hours. 

It will move westwards or west-southwest towards the south Andhra Pradesh and north Tamil Nadu coasts in the subsequent 72 hours.
