Low-pressure will turn into cyclone Wednesday

A low-pressure formed over the Bay of Bengal is expected to turn into cyclone Dana on Wednesday.

The powerful cyclonic storm may make landfall along the coasts of Bangladesh and India, posing a significant threat to coastal communities.

The storm, which formed from a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal, is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rainfall, as reported by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). 

The cyclone could trigger dangerous storm surges, with some areas potentially facing surges up to 7 feet.
According to the IMD, the cyclonic circulation over the Andaman Sea intensified into a low-pressure area on Monday and is forecast to develop into a cyclonic storm by October 23.

Cyclone Dana is projected to impact the coastal regions of Odisha and West Bengal in India before moving toward Bangladesh. 

In Bangladesh, the districts of Satkhira, Khulna, and Bagerhat are expected to experience the most significant effects, while in India, West Bengal's Midnapore and South 24 Parganas are at risk.
