The India Meteorological Department has said that there is a danger of a cyclone at the end of this May. If the cyclone takes full form in the Bay of Bengal, its name will be 'Remal'. This name is given by Oman.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department forecast, two depressions are likely to form in the Bay of Bengal in May. A cyclone may form in South Bay of Bengal on May 20. After that, it will gradually turn northwards and increase in strength to become a cyclonic storm on May 24.

The Indian Meteorological Office has said that this cyclone may hit the coast of West Bengal and Bangladesh after the evening of May 25.

According to a report, Hindustan Times said that the course of this potential cyclone may be clear from May 20. But where and at what speed this cyclone can hit, it cannot be said right now. It is expected to land somewhere in West Bengal or Bangladesh.

The report also said that due to this cyclone, rain may start in coastal areas from the night of May 24. Rain may continue till May 26.

Incidentally, Cyclone Aila hit the Sundarbans on May 25, 2009. It is feared that Cyclone 'Remal' may hit on the evening of the 15th year of that terrible cyclone.
