Low pressure area formed over Southeast Bay of Bengal & adjoining Andaman Nicobar Islands

Bhubaneswar: Under the influence of the upper air cyclonic circulation over Andaman-Nicobar Islands and adjoining areas of Andaman Sea and Southeast Bay of Bengal, a Low-Pressure Area has been formed over Southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Andaman Nicobar Islands.
The IMD here predicted that the associated cyclonic circulation extends up to upper tropospheric levels tilting southwestwards with height.
It is likely to move west-northwestwards and intensify into a Depression over West central Bay of Bengal around November 16, 2023.
Under its influence squally weather with gusting surface wind reaching 45 to 55 KMPH is very likely over west central Bay of Bengal on November 16 and 17.
Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea from November 15 onwards and those who are in sea are asked to return to the shore before November 15.
