Description

Cyclonic Storm Laila is the first cyclonic storm to affect southeastern India in May since the 1990 Andhra Pradesh cyclone. The first tropical cyclone of the 2010 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Laila developed on May 17 in the Bay of Bengal from a persistent area of convection. Strengthening as it tracked northwestward, it became a severe cyclonic storm on May 19. The next day, Laila made landfall in Andhra Pradesh, and it later dissipated over land. It caused flooding and damage along its path. Laila is an Urdu name, meaning Night. Cyclones formed over the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea began to be named in 2004. Sixty-four names were suggested to provide a unique identification for forecast and warning, out of which 22 have been used so far. So according to the cycle, the name "Laila" for this cyclone was suggested by Pakistan.
