Chance of a cyclone in the Bay of Bengal

The low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is already lashing the Telugu states with heavy rains. Now, the weather department warns it could get even stronger in the next day or two. If this continues, it might turn into a depression and then a cyclone. A cyclone would mean total chaos for the Telugu states, especially as it could hit the Andhra Pradesh coast with torrential rains and destructive winds. We'll get more clarity on this in the next four to five days.
