Bhubaneswar: A fresh low-pressure area is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal around Friday, while Odisha may experience dry weather over the next few days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday.
A cyclonic circulation has formed over the South Andaman Sea on Wednesday. The system is likely to move in a north-westerly direction and concentrate into a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13.
Thereafter, it is expected to intensify further into a well-marked low-pressure area on November 14 and subsequently into a depression by November 15, the weather agency said.
However, the system is unlikely to have any significant impact on the weather in Odisha. The weather is likely to remain mainly dry across the state till the morning of November 19. No large change in weather conditions is expected between November 18 and 21.
The forecast indicates that even if the system intensifies into a depression, its impact on Odisha will be minimal, at least till November 21.
