Low pressure over Andaman Sea intensifies further
IMD says the well-marked low pressure is centred near southeast Bay of Bengal as of Saturday morning and is expected to concentrate into a depression off Andhra Pradesh by night
A low pressure system over the Andaman Sea has strengthened significantly, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). On Saturday morning, October 31, 2026, the system was centered south of the Bay of Bengal. The IMD predicts the system may move in a west-northwest direction, concentrating into a depression near the Andhra Pradesh coast by the following night.
The system is expected to move northwestwards and intensify further over west-central Bay of Bengal around November 2, though it remains unclear if it will dissipate or intensify into a cyclone. Experts will only know for sure after the system has developed into a depression through cyclogenesis. Residents in Andhra Pradesh may experience light to moderate rainfall during this period, with isolated showers expected on Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, 2026.
