Bhubaneswar: A low-pressure area is likely to form over southwest Bay of Bengal during the next 48 hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) informed on Sunday.
Fishermen have been advised not to venture into some parts of southwest Bay of Bengal, adjoining parts of southeast Bay of Bengal on May 10-11, most parts of southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining parts of southeast Bay of Bengal from May 12-15 and along and off Tamil Nadu Coast on May 13-14.
According to wether experts, this system is unlikely to have any significant impact in South India as it is expected to move northeastwards towards Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Myanmar during the next week. Change of cyclone formation is also low. However, mild possibilities of depression or further intensification can’t be ruled out.
