Tropical Storm “Hudhud” developed in Bay of Bengal
An area of low pressure near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in Northern Indian Ocean developed in Tropical Storm "Hudhud" on October 8, 2014. This is the third tropical system and first tropical storm this year in Bay of Bengal.
Favorable environment in Bay of Bengal will allow the system to strengthen into the strongest cyclone of the year in the northern Indian Ocean. It is expected to intensify into at least a Category 3 cyclone before hits the central east coast of India. JTWC expects Hudhud to make landfall near north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha coasts between Visakhapatnam and Gopalpur on October 10, 2014.
