Depression likely to form over Bay of Bengal by November 15
The India Meteorological Department stated that a low-pressure area may intensify into a depression over the south-east Bay of Bengal.
A low-pressure area is likely to form over the south-east Bay of Bengal around November 13 and may intensify into a depression by November 15, according to a report by The Hindu.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) in Amaravati said on Wednesday that an upper air cyclonic circulation has formed over the South Andaman Sea. This circulation is expected to influence the formation of the low-pressure area.
The system is likely to become a well-marked low-pressure area around November 14. Squally weather with wind speeds gusting to 60 kmph is expected over the south-east Bay of Bengal from November 14 to 16.
Wind speeds may increase to 65 kmph over the southwest Bay of Bengal from November 15 to 17. Similar wind speeds are possible over the central Bay of Bengal on November 16 and 17.
While reports of another cyclonic storm are circulating, IMD weather experts said the system must be tracked and noted there may not be a possibility of another cyclone forming. The IMD has not issued any rainfall alerts for the state.
