Bhubaneswar: A new low pressure area persisting over the South Andaman Sea and neighbourhood is very likely to concentrate into a Depression over southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Andaman Sea around October 31, informed the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The Low Pressure area was spotted over the South Andaman Sea and neighbourhood at 11:30 am today. The system is very likely to move west-northwestwards and intensify into a depression on October 31. Thereafter, it is likely to intensify further and continue to move west-northwestwards towards the Andhra Pradesh coast during the subsequent two days, the IMD added.
Meanwhile, the Depression, remnant of Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Arnab, over central parts of Chhattisgarh and adjoining Odisha is moving northwards at 23 kmph and lay centered near 20.2°N and 81.7°E, about 110 km south of Raipur (Chhattisgarh), 120 km south-southeast of Durg (Chhattisgarh), 170 km west of Titlagarh (Odisha), 220 km south-southwest of Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh), 260 km southwest of Raigarh, and 270 km west-southwest of Sambalpur (Odisha).
It is very likely to continue to move northwards and weaken into a well-marked low pressure area over North Chhattisgarh and adjoining Northwest Odisha around this evening.
