    usually GFS is the best bet on predicting the track

  6. Hi,

    The GFS forecast seems to be varying from day to day.The latest i see from GFS is that there will not be a major cyclone but an easterly wave.
    But this might change again.
    Also i have generally observed that cyclones in December generally tend to be more southern bound towards TN - Nagapattinam or srilanka coast or at the max north towards south andhra. I am not sure if this may not be the case. But ever since i was in my school days which was about 15 years ago when i started observing cyclones in the bay, i have seen cyclones heading to orissa /WB coast in octobee or November. Never seen cyclones hit them in December.

    Any statistics available on cyclones hitting orissa or Wesr Bengal in December ?

    Thanks,
    Chandru

  7. Mr. Chandru is correct.
    The Northern bay sea temperature will be COLD during December, this'll not support any Cyclones.
    That's why the cyclones tend to hit south during december.
    I think the coming up system will be a Deep-depression and WILL cross south-Andhra at the max.
