The low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal is likely to gradually intensify into a cyclonic storm by March 21, and is then likely to move north-northeastwards and reach the Bangladesh Myanmar coast around March 22, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has said.
The rare cyclonic storm may skip Tamil Nadu but result in hotter days and heat surge with humid nights due to the delayed entry of easterly winds.
Meteorologists said that the movement of system over the Bay of Bengal may take the temperature soaring in Tamil Nadu. The IMD also predicted that without strong winds flowing from any direction, the temperature during the day will increase.
