Another cyclone Yaas to form in Bay of Bengal, Goa safe: India meteorological department

PANAJI: While the very severe cyclonic storm, Tauktae, caused massive destruction and is just beginning to weaken, another cyclone Yaas is likely to form in Bay of Bengal by May 26, though it may not have any notable impact on Goa.
India meteorological department (IMD), Delhi, has forecast that a low pressure area is likely to form in north Andaman Sea and east central Bay of Bengal on May 22.
It will then develop into a cyclonic storm during the next 72 hours and is likely to move towards Odisha and West Bengal coast by May 26, the bulletin states.
While the state is recovering from the trail of widespread destruction from the system that originated in Arabian Sea, there might be some relief that the new system on the other side of the coast may not be significant to Goa’s weather.
“It is not expected to have any impact over Goa,” Rahul M, scientist, IMD, Panaji said.
The overcast skies are slowly clearing up after Tauktae ripped barely 150km from Goa’s coast on Sunday.
After the heavy rain on Sunday and windy conditions for a few days, the weather at the peak of summer has been pleasant during the last couple of days.
On Thursday, IMD recorded a maximum temperature of nearly five degrees below normal at 28.7 degrees celsius and a minimum temperature of 24.4 degrees celsius.
