The weather system developed at 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday under the influence of an upper-air cyclonic circulation positioned over the central Andaman Sea and adjoining Andaman and Nicobar Islands, according to the latest bulletin from India's meteorological department.
Meteorologists are monitoring the system closely as it shows signs of intensification. Current projections suggest the low-pressure area could develop into a depression within the next 24 to 48 hours, potentially by November 15.
The formation of such systems during the post-monsoon season is not uncommon over the Bay of Bengal. Weather officials have advised mariners and coastal residents to remain alert and monitor official updates as the system evolves.
Authorities have issued advisories for fishing communities operating in the Bay of Bengal, recommending precautionary measures as weather conditions could deteriorate with the system's expected intensification. Further updates are expected as meteorological agencies continue to track the system's movement and development.
