What Happened: A deep depression in the Bay of Bengal transformed into a cyclone. According to Pakistan Meteorological Department, the cyclone has been named Yaas, which is 600 km away from the Indian territory of Port Blair. It is expected to turn into a severe hurricane in the next 24 hours.
India is staring at another cyclonic storm but this time on its east coast. The IMD has said that a low-pressure system is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal around May 23. If the cyclone forms, it would be the second to hit India in less than a week after Cyclone Tauktae. pic.twitter.com/3Q31O2Eni4
