"We won't have any problem from wind point of view. There may be some rainfall. Rainfall for one day is ok because it may dry up. If it continues for three days, it may affect standing crops," he told IANS.
The latest warning has triggered fear among the coastal residents as the Bay of Bengal has already witnessed two cyclones since October.
Cyclone Helen hit the coast Friday forcing authorities to evacuate thousands of people in Andhra Pradesh. It killed six people and caused extensive damage to standing crops in that state.
Helen hit the coast weeks after a severe tropical cyclone Phailin in the Bay of Bengal devastated lives and damaged properties in more than 17 districts in Odisha after making landfall Oct 12 night near Gopalpur in the state's Ganjam district.
Phailin also caused extensive damage in Andhra Pradesh.
