“Under the influence of the upper air cyclonic circulation over North Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood, a low pressure area formed over North Bay of Bengal and adjoining South Bangladesh at 8:30 am today. Associated upper air cyclonic circulation extends up to 5.8 Km above mean sea level,” an IMD bulletin said.
