IMD forecasts depression over Bay of Bengal by mid-November

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an advisory indicating that a depression is likely to develop over the Bay of Bengal by November 15, marking a significant shift in weather patterns for the eastern and southeastern coasts of India.

The meteorological system, if it materializes as forecast, could bring enhanced rainfall and gusty winds to coastal areas and adjacent regions during the latter half of November. States including Odisha, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana may experience intensified weather activity in the days following the system's formation.

The IMD continues to monitor atmospheric conditions and pressure systems over the Indian Ocean closely. The department is expected to issue detailed advisories and updates as the predicted date approaches, guiding relevant authorities and the public on preparedness measures.

Such weather systems during the post-monsoon period are not uncommon over the Bay of Bengal. Meteorologists advise coastal residents and maritime communities to remain alert for official updates and follow necessary safety protocols once the system develops.
