Well Marked Low Pressure Over Bay Of Bengal Becomes Depression; Will It Intensify Into Cyclone?

Bhubaneswar: The well-marked low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a depression, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday.

The system lay centred over central parts of South Bay of Bengal and adjoining East Equatorial Indian Ocean around 1050 km south-southeast of Chennai. It is likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a deep depression during the next 24 hours, it said.

Thereafter, it is likely to continue to move northwestwards towards Tamil Nadu-Sri Lanka coasts during subsequent 2 days.

The deep depression may turn into a cyclonic storm. Subsequently, it will be named ‘Fengal’, suggested by Saudi Arabia.

As per indications given by the IMD, the deep depression will head towards Sri Lanka and affect the northern parts of the country before culminating off the northern coast of Tamil Nadu.

While IMD has not raised the warning of a cyclonic storm, other global models have predicted that the deep depression may intensify into a cyclonic storm by the end of this week and likely make landfall in South India.

The models predicted that the possible Cyclone Fengal or the circulating winds may not make landfall in Odisha but affect its coasts with rainfall.

Sources said the deep depression may bring cloudy skies and light rainfall to coastal areas of Odisha, including Bhubaneswar.

Ccloudy skies may develop following which Ganjam, Gajapati, Puri, Khurdha, Kendrapada, and Jagatsinghpur districts may experience slight rainfall after November 27.
