As December approaches, the weather forecast for the northern Tamil Nadu coast and the southern Andhra Pradesh coast is raising concerns. Cyclone 'Michaung', brewing in the Bay of Bengal, is poised to increase the intensity of rainfall and winds in these regions from December 3 onwards, with a potential landfall anticipated around December 4 evening.

Sunanda, the Managing Director of the Visakhapatnam Cyclone Warning Centre, highlighted the evolving situation, stating that a low-pressure system initially developing in the Bay of Bengal has now intensified into a 'depression'. This system is expected to further strengthen into a 'cyclonic storm', with its trajectory currently moving northwestward.


According to Sunanda's assessment shared with news agency ANI, the depression observed near the southeastern Bay of Bengal and neighboring areas is predicted to intensify into a deep depression within the next 24 hours. Subsequently, within the following 24 hours, it is forecasted to evolve into a cyclonic storm, steadily advancing towards the North Tamil Nadu and Andhra coast.


"Commencing from December 3, the coastal areas of northern Tamil Nadu and southern Andhra Pradesh should anticipate escalating winds and rainfall as the cyclonic system progresses," Sunanda cautioned. "This movement will usher in light to moderate rainfall, possibly escalating to heavy to extremely heavy isolated downpours over south coastal Andhra Pradesh."


The National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC), led by Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba, has already taken proactive steps by reviewing the readiness of state governments and central ministries and departments for the impending cyclone. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed 18 teams to Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Puducherry, with an additional 10 teams on standby, prepared to address any unforeseen emergencies.


Furthermore, a coordinated effort involving rescue and relief teams from the Coast Guard, Army, and Navy, supported by ships and aircraft, remains on high alert, ready to swiftly respond to the situation as it unfolds.


As the looming cyclone 'Michaung' gathers strength, the collective efforts of various agencies and authorities underscore the preparedness and commitment to mitigating potential risks and safeguarding the affected regions and communities. Stay tuned for further updates and advisories as the situation evolves.
