A third cyclone is expected to form over the Central Bay of Bengal around November 18, following back-to-back storms that previously affected Andhra Pradesh. According to the India Meteorological Department, a low-pressure area will likely form over the south-east Bay of Bengal by November 14 and potentially intensify into a cyclonic storm named Akwan by November 16 or 17. Early projections indicate the system could move toward the eastern coastline, potentially bringing strong winds and rainfall to Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Bangladesh, though its exact path remains uncertain and subject to tracking after Saturday.

A third cyclone is set to form over the Central Bay of Bengal around November 18 after back-to-back thunderstorms caused by Cyclones Arnab and Murasu, which made landfall in Andhra Pradesh.

According to the IMD, there is an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the south Andaman Sea. Under its influence, the low-pressure area is likely to form over the south-east Bay of Bengal around November 14. The weather system is set to develop into a depression on November 15.

By November 16 to 17, the system could develop further into a Cyclonic storm.

If the weather system develops into a possible cyclonic storm, it will be named Akwan, meaning evil mind, a name suggested by Iran.

Early weather model projections show that the system could move towards the eastern coastline, particularly close to Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu if conditions are favourable to heat. Some models, however, show that the system could change direction over the sea.

The development of the storm is still under speculation, and possibilities remain open.

The cyclone could also possibly affect West Bengal and Bangladesh. The tracking will only be available after Saturday.

The IMD in Amaravati said that due to the cyclone’s influence, wind speeds reaching 40-50 and gusting upto 60 kmph can be expected over the Andaman Sea on November 14, November 15 and the south-east Bay of Bengal on November 14 and 16.

Rains and thunderstorms are likely to occur in Tamil Nadu if the cyclonic storm heads towards the coast. There is a possibility of light rains at isolated places in the north coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kaaraaikal from 13 to 16. Moderate rains can be expected in isolated areas in Tenkasi, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts.
