AGARTALA, Nov 4 (TIWN): Cyclone” ‘Kyant’ wrath is majorly affecting in Tripura, increasing the chances for cyclone and more rains in next 48 hrs. A brewing tropical cyclone in the Bay of Bengal could spread flooding rain across eastern India and Bangladesh into this weekend. This system comes just one week after Cyclone Kyant roamed the Bay of Bengal. Currently a depression, the system will curve toward eastern India and parallel the coast of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha into Saturday, local time. The depression may then make landfall in Bangladesh later this weekend. It is possible that the depression meanders south of Bangladesh into early next week, not making landfall until the middle of next week as a much weaker system. AccuWeather Meteorologist Courtney Spamer said that conditions into early this weekend are conducive for the depression to become a cyclone.

The best chance for it to strengthen into a cyclone will be Friday night into Saturday morning. 

Rainfall in that area could total 100-200 mm (4-8 inches), threatening to cause widespread flooding problems. Rainfall on the higher end of that range will depend on how close the depression tracks to the coast.

Similar rainfall totals may also threaten the higher terrain in Mizoram, Manipur, Tripura and southeastern Meghalaya in northeastern India this weekend. Along the northern coast of Andhra Pradesh on Friday and in Nagaland later this weekend, downpours will generally total 50-100 mm (2-4 inches) with localized flooding issues.

However, on part of Tripura govt.nil initiative has been taken for any such natural calamity, which has increased the tension further.

The track of the depression will keep its heavy rain away from Chennai. As the depression strengthens, gusty winds will increase around its center and cause seas in the northern Bay of Bengal to become dangerously rough for small craft and swimmers.

If the solution of the depression delaying its landfall until the middle of next week unfolds, it would likely be a much weaker system by the time it reaches land.

However, localized downpours could still accompany it into Bangladesh. New flash flooding may ensue, especially with the ground saturated from this weekend's deluge.
