Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted the formation of a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 23.
This development is expected to intensify into a depression over the subsequent days.
According to the IMD, an upper air cyclonic circulation is likely to form over the South Andaman Sea and adjoining areas by November 21. This system is anticipated to move west-northwestwards, leading to the formation of a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal two days later. The system is expected to further intensify into a depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal during the following 48 hours.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has issued warnings for heavy rainfall in several districts of Tamil Nadu, including Nagapattinam, Thiruvarur, Thanjavur, and Mayiladuthurai, starting from November 22. Coastal districts such as Chennai, Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu, and Kancheepuram are also expected to receive above-normal rainfall until November 28.
