AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, May 2 (TIWN): The Extremely Severe Cyclonic Circulation, ‘Fani’ is located off the coast of Andhra Pradesh in the Bay of Bengal. The TWC met team suggests that the presence of the cyclonic storm is likely to bring heavy to very heavy rain, thunderstorms, gale winds and storm surges along the eastern coastline of India, some parts of eastern India. The system will also affect northeastern India after a few days.

A cyclonic circulation located over Assam accompanied by southerly winds from Bay of Bengal is providing moist air in north eastern and eastern India through the week. This is likely to trigger widespread rain and thunderstorms over northeastern India except Manipur and Mizoram. Snow may mix in over Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. Isolated rain and thunderstorms are likely over Manipur, Tripura, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh.
