Cyclonic circulation lies over Odisha, West Bengal coasts: IMD

A cyclonic circulation is present over the northwest Bay of Bengal and the nearby north Odisha-Gangetic West Bengal coastlines, according to the India Meteorological Department’s report from Sunday.

“A cyclonic circulation lies over Northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining north Odisha-Gangetic West Bengal coasts and extends upto 5.8 km above mean sea level tilting southwards with height,” IMD Meteorological Centre, Bhubaneswar said.

The cyclonic circulation is expected to proceed over north Odisha, adjacent Gangetic West Bengal, and Jharkhand during the course of the following two to three days, according to the IMD. It also predicted that around July 18, 2023, another brand-new cyclonic circulation is probably going to occur over the Northwest Bay of Bengal.

IMD Bhubaneswar Director HR Biswas said that some regions will receive heavy and very heavy rains due to the cyclonic circulation. “Right now, the cyclone circulation is on the northeast Bay of Bengal, near coastal Odisha. The movement will be across northern Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. As a result, in the next two days, there are chances of heavy to very heavy rain. Most of the places will have moderate rainfall,” he said.
