Bhubaneswar: The IMD’s Regional Centre in Bhubaneswar on Saturday said that conditions are now favourable for further intensification of the low pressure area over South Andaman Sea and adjoining Southeast Bay of Bengal.
The low pressure is likely to intensify into a depression today. There will be a gradual rise in the wind speed from today onwards and it is likely that the system will further intensify into a cyclonic storm by May 8 (tomorrow). the Regional MeT said.
“It is very likely to continue to move northwestwards and reach west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal off North Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts on May 10,” said IMD.
As per IMD’s previous forecast, the detailed track, intensity and landfall course can be better ascertained only after the system develops into a depression.
