Low-pressure area forms over Bay of Bengal, likely to intensify into depression by November 15

A low-pressure area has formed over the southeast Bay of Bengal and is expected to intensify into a depression by November 15, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The system formed under the influence of an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the central Andaman Sea and adjoining Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The low-pressure area is likely to move northwestwards and become a well-marked low-pressure area around November 14 before intensifying into a depression over the same region.

Residents in the affected regions can expect squally weather with wind speeds of about 50 kmph, gusting up to 60 kmph, over the Andaman Sea on November 13 and 14 and over the southeast Bay of Bengal from November 13 to 16.
