India is staring at another cyclonic storm but this time on its east coast. The Indian Met Department (IMD) has said that a low-pressure system is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal around May 23. If the cyclone forms, it would be the second to hit India in less than a week after Cyclone Tauktae. The new cyclone will be called Yaas, a name given by Oman. The cyclone is expected to be stronger than Tauktae as storms formed in the Bay of Bengal are more powerful.#CycloneYaas #CycloneTauktae #Tr
