“The cyclonic storm above the Gulf of Thailand has moved west-north-westwards at a speed of 17 km per hour and lay centred over the Andaman Sea and its neighbourhood, about 1800 km south-east of Gopalpur on Saturday afternoon. It is very likely to move west-north-westwards for some more time and then re-curve in the north-west direction and cross the Andaman islands on the evening or night of January 6,” Director, CEC, Dr Sarat Chandra Sahu said.
He also said that the cyclonic storm is likely to have a wind speed of 70-80 km per hour gusting up to 90 km per hour and then move north-north-west wards and re-curve in the north-east direction towards the Myanmar coast and weaken gradually.

Due to the movement of western disturbance towards the east, there is a possibility of light rain in the north Odisha districts between January 5 and 7.
Sahu, however, said that the cyclonic storm is not likely to impact Odisha.
