Cyclone Hudhud is going to form soon. It is called Tropical depression 19B presently. Contrary to earlier expectations it will initially be a weak storm. It is only when it nears the Andhra-Orisaa border coast (Gopalpur-at-Sea, Berhampur) that it will intensify rapidly and turn into a big cyclone. The landfall is expected to be on October 11-12, 2014.
