if a tropical cyclone develops in andamans which ports authoroties should be most alarmed
Answers
The second part of 2014’s North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season is likely to kick off this week as weather models indicate the possibility of a strong low pressure development in the Bay of Bengal. The first anniversary of tropical Cyclone Phailin is just a few days away and it seems that the Bay of Bengal may see another cyclonic weather event just before its eve.
For the last 2-3 days, the weather models have been indicating the possibility of tropical activity (development and intensification of low pressure) in the Bay of Bengal this week. It must be noted that weather models cannot be relied upon completely at this moment as they begin with some errors which get multiplied over time. For instance, a model showing weather conditions next week will be less accurate than the model showing weather conditions tomorrow.
But if they are to be believed to some extent, we can see a low pressure region developing in the easternmost part of Bay of Bengal (the Andaman Sea) in the next 48 hours (according to the IMD). This early morning’s surface weather charts from Thailand Meteorological Department (TMD) are already showing the formation of a low pressure region in the Andaman Sea, close to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
