The “rumour” emerged after Mostafa Kamal Palash, a PhD researcher on weather and climate at Saskatchewan University in Canada, made a prediction in this regard.
“A depression is likely to form on 17 October, which is expected to intensify into a cyclonic storm by 18 October,” Mostafa Kamal Palash was quoted as saying by Business Standard.
