Bay of Bengal system delays Tripura winter, IMD sees relief in 5 to 7 days
The Story in Brief
Tripura residents will have to wait another five to seven days for winter chill, as a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal keeps daytime temperatures near 34 to 35°C, about four degrees above normal, according to the India Meteorological Department.
IMD scientist Partha Roy said the warm conditions are typical when cyclonic systems develop over the Bay of Bengal. The system is not expected to directly affect Tripura, but its outer rain bands may bring isolated light showers to South Tripura, Gomati, Sepahijala and North Tripura on 27 October, and at one or two places per district on 28 and 29 October. No weather warning has been issued.
Temperatures are likely to gradually return to near-normal levels over the next five to seven days as the system's influence weakens. The system is expected to make landfall near Visakhapatnam on 28 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
A Bay of Bengal cyclonic circulation has pushed Tripura’s daytime temperatures three to four degrees above the October normal, masking the usual onset of winter. The India Meteorological Department expects relief only after the system makes landfall near Visakhapatnam on 28 October and its influence fades. For residents still sweating through 34 to 35°C afternoons, the five-to-seven-day wait before near-normal temperatures return means the seasonal chill remains stalled. The IMD has issued no weather warning, underscoring that the rainfall predicted for four districts is expected to be light and isolated. The key question is whether the system dissipates as forecast, any change in its track or intensity could extend or shorten the delay.
