Cyclonic storm Pabuk
According to the IMD officials, ‘Pabuk’ over Andaman Sea moved west-northwestwards and lay centered on Sunday morning which is about 210 km east-southeast of Port Blair. Due to unfavourable conditions, the system is very likely to weaken into a deep depression by Sunday evening. It will further break into a depression during subsequent 12 hours.

It is very likely to continue to move west-northwestwards and cross Andaman Islands by Sunday night as a deep depression with a wind speed of 55 to 65 kmph, gusting to 75 kmph. Thereafter, it is very likely to move north-northwestwards and then recurve northeastwards towards Myanmar coast and weaken gradually, said the IMD.
