BoB Low Pressure system likely to intensify into depression By Nov 15: IMD: A fresh low-pressure area has formed over the southeast Bay of Bengal and is likely to intensify into a depression by November 15. The system formed at 5.30 am under the influence of an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the central Andaman Sea and adjoining Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Friday.
The system is expected to move northwestwards and become a well-marked low-pressure area around November 14 before strengthening into a depression by November 15, the IMD said.
Squally weather, with wind speeds of 50 kmph and gusts of up to 60 kmph, is likely over the Andaman Sea on November 13 and 14 and over the southeast Bay of Bengal from November 13 to 16.
Wind speeds are expected to reach 55 kmph, with gusts of up to 65 kmph, over the southwest Bay of Bengal between November 15 and 17, and the central Bay of Bengal on November 16 and 17. The developing system comes days after two successive cyclones — Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Arnab and Severe Cyclonic Storm Murasu — crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast.
