Cyclone 'Yaas' forming in Bay of Bengal, may hit by May 27

Cyclone "Yaas" forming over the Bay of Bengal may hit India's east coast around May 27.
"There is an early indication of such a system (low pressure area) over the Bay of Bengal which may be clearly formed around May 23 and move towards Odisha and West Bengal," said Madhavan Rajeevan, secretary of Indian Ministry of Earth Sciences, reports The Times of India.

"It may hit the coast by May 27. Our models show the formation, but it would be clearer in a day or two," he told TOI.
The cyclone would be called "Yaas" -- meaning despair or disappointment -- named by Oman. It is still in the "low pressure area formation", said the report.
