Weather Update: After back-to-back cyclones, Arnab and Murasu, had a hard-hitting impact on the states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, is the region up for another cyclonic storm? Well, according to the latest update by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a new low-pressure area is expected to form over the Southeast Bay of Bengal on November 13, which will reportedly move northwestward and become a well-marked low-pressure area within the next 24 hours.
Is Another Cyclone On The Way?
While it is very early to say whether the system will turn into a cyclone, given that the IMD didn't indicate any such formation, it should be noted that not all low-pressure areas turn into cyclones. It depends pretty much on several oceanic and atmospheric conditions.

How Cyclone Arnab and Murasu Wreaked Havoc
Both cyclones have caused substantial damage to crops, houses, and traffic, among others. Cyclone Arnab made landfall along the Andhra coast on October 28. Soon after, Cyclone Murasu wreaked havoc while making landfall on November 3.
These systems brought very heavy rainfall accompanied by severe storms, thunderstorms and flooding across the states. It also had an impact on other places, including Chennai, Tamil Nadu, UP, Bihar, etc.
On November 10, Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Minister Kinjarapu Atchannaidu reviewed the crop damage caused by the recent cyclones. Officials told him that 4,61,194 hectares of agricultural land and another 29,960 hectares of horticultural land had been hit. Cyclone Arnab alone damaged 3,27,843 hectares across 15 districts and affected 5,23,136 farmers. That works out to just over 30% of the state's total cultivated area of 10,90,933 hectares. The estimated crop loss stands at nearly 9.78 lakh tonnes, according to The Hindu.
In Odisha, at least 1.18 lakh people were reportedly affected, over 75,000 hectares of farmland were destroyed, and 1,672 houses were damaged in Ganjam and Kandhamal districts.
