The low-pressure zone which formed over the Bay of Bengal intensified gradually and transformed into a cyclone on Sunday (8/5/2022) morning. This cyclone was given the name ;Asani; by Sri Lanka. This cyclone is likely to intensify further and drift towards the Odisha Coast. As such, fishermen have been given warning!
A low-pressure zone was formed over the South Andaman and its adjacent areas on Friday (6th May). This low-pressure format intensified and transformed into a depression zone on Saturday (7th May) and by afternoon it transformed into a depression zone. This depression format prevailed over the South Bay of Bengal.
This depression zone drifted towards the northwest and transformed into a severe cyclone over the central-east Bay of Bengal.
