LIVE Updates | Cyclone Mocha in Odisha, Bay of Bengal: The cyclonic system prevailing over Bay of Bengal that is likely to intensify into cyclonic storm by May 9 will not have an impact on Tamil Nadu, said the Regional Meteorological Centre. Cyclone Mocha, if formed, is unlikely to hit the Bengal coast, according to Met department sources. However, all police stations in Kolkata have been asked to assess generator requirements in case the electric lines snap during the storm.

The weather system is likely to form a depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal around May 9, and then intensify into a cyclonic storm, to be called Cyclone Mocha, while moving northwards towards central Bay of Bengal and adjoining north Andaman sea. 

If the system developed into a cyclonic storm, it will be known as cyclone Mocha, a name recommended by Yemen, and originates from the Yemeni city Mocha (or Mokha) located on the Red Sea coast.
