According to Manorama Mohanty, director of the Bhubaneswar Meteorological Centre, Dana is expected to make landfall along the north Odisha and West Bengal coasts near Bhitarkanika and Dhamra as a severe cyclonic storm, with winds reaching speeds of 100-110 km per hour and gusts of up to 120 km per hour. The storm is forecasted to maintain its intensity until Friday morning before weakening into a cyclonic storm, due to a high-pressure system over the Arabian Sea preventing further intensification. After landfall, Dana may recurve west-southwestward, potentially bringing rain to central and southern districts of Odisha on Saturday.
