Bhubaneswar: The cyclonic circulation over northwest Bay of Bengal and its neighbourhood has intensified into a low pressure area off the Odisha-West Bengal coasts.
“Under the influence of the cyclonic circulation over northwest Bay of Bengal & neighbourhood, a low pressure area has formed over northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha-West Bengal coasts with the associated cyclonic circulation extending up to 7.6 km above mean sea level tilting southwestwards with height.
