According to the latest satellite images, the deep depression over Southeast Bay of Bengal is going to intensify into cyclonic storm Moka in a few hours.

The system is currently located 510 km from Port Blair, 1480 km from Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh, and 1360 km from Swat in Myanmar.

Once the cyclone is complete, it will move north-northwestward over the sea surface. It will move to collect a lot of water vapor from the ocean. As a result, it is going to turn into a severe cyclone by tomorrow i.e. May 11 morning and become a very strong cyclone by tomorrow afternoon. Once energy storage is complete, it will proceed to a landfall location between the coasts of Bangladesh and Myanmar between the Cox's Bazar (Bangladesh) and Kyukpyu (Myanmar) sub-regions. Possible landfall of Moka on May 14 is likely. However, it is not yet clear what the maximum possible speed and exact landfall location of this very strong cyclone is going to be at that time. Delhi's Mausam Bhavan is keeping a close watch.
