Bay of Bengal Low Pressure Likely Around November 13, Tamil Nadu and South India May Receive Rain

Bhubaneswar, Nov 9 (UDN): Weather activity over the Bay of Bengal may intensify next week, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting the possibility of a fresh low-pressure system developing over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13.

According to the IMD's extended-range weather outlook for November 6–19, a cyclonic circulation is likely to emerge over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Andaman Sea around November 11.

The weather system may subsequently concentrate into a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal by November 13. There is also a possibility, although currently assessed as low, of the system intensifying into a depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal around November 15.

If the system develops as anticipated, rainfall activity could increase across parts of South India during the week beginning November 16. Tamil Nadu and neighbouring regions are likely to remain under close weather watch as the system evolves.

However, meteorologists are yet to establish the system's eventual movement, intensity and geographical impact. The IMD is expected to provide a clearer assessment as the weather system takes shape over the coming days.

Odisha's Weather Situation Under Watch

The possibility of another low-pressure system has drawn attention in Odisha, which recently experienced heavy rainfall and flooding in several areas, particularly in its southern districts.

The state had also witnessed adverse weather conditions following the recent cyclonic developments over the Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal regions.

However, there is currently no clear indication that the developing system will bring significant rainfall to Odisha. Its possible influence on the state's weather will depend on its eventual trajectory and intensity.

Not Yet a Confirmed Cyclone

The IMD's latest outlook indicates the possibility of a low-pressure area developing over the Bay of Bengal, rather than a confirmed cyclone.

While the system could strengthen into a depression, such an intensification remains uncertain at this stage.

Residents across coastal and southern regions are advised to follow subsequent IMD bulletins for updated information on the system's development and potential weather impacts.
