Dana

Overview

Severe Cyclonic Storm Dana formed over the Bay of Bengal in late October 2024 and crossed the north Odisha coast between Bhitarkanika National Park and Dhamra in the early hours of 25 October, with sustained winds of 110-120 km/h and gusts to 130 km/h. Mass evacuations along the Odisha coast ahead of landfall, plus a slow, five-hour landfall process, kept the death toll low relative to the storm's strength. Heavy rain also reached south Bengal.
