The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast the formation of another low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13. The system is likely to become more organised within 24 hours of its formation and move in a northwesterly direction. Under its influence, scattered rainfall is expected over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam and Rayalaseema between November 14 and 16. Heavy rainfall is also forecast over parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on November 10, 11, 15 and 16, while Kerala may receive heavy rain in isolated areas on November 16.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are likely to experience heavy rainfall between November 10 and 14. The Kashmir Valley may receive rain and snowfall on November 12. Gusty winds reaching speeds of 40–50 kmph, along with thunderstorms and lightning, are possible around Tamil Nadu. No heavy-rain warning has been issued specifically for North Andhra Pradesh, although isolated rainfall is possible there between November 14 and 16. The IMD has not indicated that the low-pressure system will intensify into a cyclone or make landfall. The situation may change depending on subsequent weather bulletins.
