The IMD has cautioned fishermen against going out to the south Andaman sea & southeast Bay of Bengal. Andaman & Nicobar Islands will experience heavy rainfall between 9 and 12 May.
As the storm took shape over the Great Lakes on Thursday, a weather phenomenon known as a bomb cyclone was likely to develop from a 'rapidly deepening low-pressure' system, the NWS said.
The cyclone has formed from the remnants of Cyclone Gulab, which hit India's eastern coast on 26 September. IMD says it will move towards Pakistan and then drift to the Oman coast.
In the 22 years of the 21st century, Cyclone Gulab is only the third Bay of Bengal cyclone to make landfall in September, during the active monsoon season.
The cyclone hit the landmass between Kalingapatanam in Andhra Pradesh and Gopalpur in Odisha. During the landfall, the wind speed of the cyclone is about 90 km/h, an official said.
