Cyclone Dana Set to Hit Odisha and West Bengal on October 24, 2024.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning regarding a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, predicting it will intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by October 23.

  • The storm is expected to make landfall along the coasts of Odisha and West Bengal on October 24.
  • Formation:Cyclones develop over warm ocean waters (above 26.5°C) due to the rapid upward movement of warm air, which condenses to form clouds and releases energy, fueling the system.
  • Wind Speed:Cyclonic storms are categorized based on wind speeds, with severe cyclonic storms typically reaching wind speeds between 89 and 117 kmph.
