The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported possible developments in the weather patterns over the Bay of Bengal, including the formation of an upper air cyclonic circulation on November 5 and a potential low-pressure area by the end of the week. Several numerical models suggest the likelihood of a depression forming around November 7, adding complexity to the evolving weather situation. Environmental indicators also point towards favorable conditions for cyclonic activity in the region. Authorities in Tamil Nadu and other coastal states are advised to stay vigilant, given the recent impact of Cyclone Dana and the seasonal patterns in the area.
As the well-marked low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal intensifies into a depression and potential severe cyclonic storm, the IMD has warned of the impact on eastern coastlines. With Odisha likely to bear the brunt, the state government has requested for additional NDRF teams to be mobilized. The cyclone is expected to make landfall between Puri and Sagar Island with wind speeds reaching up to 120 km/h.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a special message that a cyclonic storm, named Cyclone Dana, is expected to form over the Bay of Bengal by October 23. This is due to a low-pressure area forming over the east central Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea, which is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm by October 23. The system is predicted to reach the Odisha-West Bengal coasts by October 24, leading to rough to very rough sea conditions. The IMD has also advised fishermen to return to shore by October 21 to avoid potential hazards.
In a recent article, Harsh Mander compares the current political climate in India to the dark days of Nazi Germany in 1935. He argues that just as Hitler gained support by appealing to the masses, Modi has successfully pulled bahujan voters to the BJP. However, as time goes on, many are starting to drift away from the party. Mander raises important questions about the consequences of this shift in political allegiance and the potential impact on the country.
Severe cyclone Remal made landfall over coastal areas of Bangladesh and adjoining West Bengal on Sunday night, according to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for the first pre-monsoon cyclone in the Bay of Bengal, which is set to form into a severe cyclonic storm by Sunday and hit West Bengal and Bangladesh. The storm is expected to bring extremely heavy rainfall and high wind speeds, causing potential damage to vulnerable regions and structures. As a precautionary measure, the IMD has advised people to stay indoors and take extra precautions in the affected areas.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that the low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal will intensify into a cyclonic storm named Remal by Sunday evening. With wind speeds expected to reach 102 kilometres per hour, the cyclone will make landfall on Sunday and fishermen have been warned to stay away from the sea until May 27. Scientists attribute the intensification of cyclonic storms to warmer sea surface temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions, a trend that has been observed in the past 30 years, according to IMD scientists.
