Bhubaneswar: A low-pressure area is likely to form over the southeast and adjoining east-central Bay of Bengal around October 23, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday, adding that the system is expected to move northwestwards and intensify further.
In its latest update issued at 5.30 am on Wednesday, the weather agency said an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the Gulf of Thailand and adjoining parts of Thailand and Myanmar persisted over the same region.
The circulation is likely to emerge over the North Andaman Sea on Wednesday, following which it is expected to move west-northwestwards, the IMD said.
Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to develop over the southeast and adjoining east-central Bay of Bengal around October 23.
The system is then likely to move northwestwards and intensify further, according to the weather department.
