The weather update on the Cyclone Over BoB has drawn strong attention across Odisha as two systems grow over the Bay of Bengal. The Cyclone Over BoB highlights rising concern among residents, even as the IMD confirms that neither system shows a direct threat to the state.
The first system entered the Bay from the Malacca Strait and strengthened into a deep depression on Tuesday night. It continues to move west-northwest while gathering more intensity. Meteorologists say the system is expanding as it travels over the central Bay, though its exact landfall path still needs clarity.
A second circulation has also formed near Sri Lanka in the southwest Bay. This system is moving north-northwest and will likely develop into a depression within the next 24 hours. It too is growing stronger, but its current track does not head toward Odisha.
IMD officials continue to monitor both systems closely. Despite the rising activity over the ocean, forecasts repeatedly show that Odisha will stay outside the danger zone. The state may, however, experience a dip in night temperatures as winter conditions return.
