Cyclone Mocha likely to hit the Bay of Bengal tomorrow

According to the weather office, a significant storm that was brewing in the southeast Bay of Bengal has begun to gain momentum and is anticipated to intensify into a cyclone today. According to the India Meteorological Division, the very much checked low-pressure region gathered into a downturn yesterday (Tuesday) pressing breeze rates of 45 to 55 kmph and blasting to 65 kmph over the south-east Sound of Bengal. The weather agency predicted that the system will develop into a deep depression by 5.30 am on Wednesday and Cyclone Mocha during the next 12 hours, with wind gusts between 80 and 90 kph and 100 kph.

According to the weather office, the system is anticipated to initially move north-northwestward until the morning of May 12 and then toward the Bangladeshi and Myanmar coasts. As the cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify today, the administration of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has notified the populace. Anglers and administrators of little ships, boats, and fishing vessels are exhorted not to wander into the southeast and connecting focal Cove of Bengal. The climate office likewise asked the people who are over the east-focal Inlet of Bengal and north Andaman Ocean to return during the day.

By Thursday morning, the weather system is likely to become a severe cyclonic storm with winds of up to 110 kph and a very severe cyclonic storm with winds of up to 130 kph. "From that point, it is probably going to cross southeast Bangladesh and north Myanmar coasts between Cox's Market and Kyaukpyu around the forenoon of Sunday," the climate office said. The storm will be referred to as Cyclone Mocha (Mokha) under the system for naming cyclones. This name was suggested by Yemen in honor of the Red Sea port city of Mokha, which introduced coffee to the world 500 years ago. Over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from Tuesday to Thursday, the Met Department predicted light to moderate rainfall, with isolated areas likely to receive heavy to very heavy precipitation.
