Bhubaneswar: A new weather system is developing over the Bay of Bengal and could turn into a cyclonic storm named Shakti between May 23 and 28. While the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has not yet confirmed the cyclone’s formation, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department has already issued an alert, warning that the storm may hit coastal areas of Odisha and Bangladesh. 
According to Bangladesh’s weather forecast, the cyclone is likely to reach land between May 24 and 26, impacting Odisha’s coastline as well as Bangladesh’s Chittagong coast. Several districts in Odisha—including Balasore, Bhadrak, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Ganjam, and Khordha—could experience moderate to heavy rainfall and strong winds of up to 60 km/h during this period. However, the exact path and strength of the cyclone are still unclear, and more details will emerge as the weather system develops.
Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal are not uncommon during this time of year, often bringing heavy rains, strong winds, and potential flooding to coastal regions. Authorities in Odisha and Bangladesh are likely to issue further warnings and prepare emergency response measures as the situation evolves. Residents in vulnerable areas are advised to stay updated with the latest weather reports and follow safety guidelines.
In addition to the cyclone threat, the IMD has reported that the southwest monsoon has already advanced into parts of the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and southern India. This could influence weather patterns, possibly increasing rainfall in affected regions. The IMD has also warned of heavy rain and gusty winds in areas under the influence of both the monsoon and the developing cyclone.
As the situation develops, government agencies and disaster management teams will be closely monitoring the storm’s progress to minimize risks to life and property. People living in coastal districts should remain cautious and prepare for possible disruptions, including power outages and transportation delays. Further updates from the IMD and other weather agencies will provide clearer information on Cyclone Shakti’s expected impact in the coming days.
