Another Cyclone Likely to Strike

5/6/2008

Dhaka: The Bangladesh meteorological office said on Sunday in its long-range forecast for May that at least one cyclonic storm may develop from the depressions in the Bay of Bengal this month.

The forecast was issued by the meteorological office after a meeting of experts.

The cyclone, if it forms in the Bay, would be called ABC, from a panel of code names selected for cyclones in the Bay of Bengal this year, a Bangladesh senior meteorologist and cyclone expert said.

Cyclone Nargis struck the Burma delta earlier this month and may have killed as many as 15,000 people. After Nargis, the meteorological office in Bangladesh is closely watching the weather patterns in the Bay of Bengal.

When cyclone Nargis formed in the Bay of Bengal, the Bangladesh authority also warned Bangladeshis about the cyclone via radio and multiple TV channels.
