Cyclone Threat Looms Over Andhra Pradesh

Another cyclone threat is looming over Andhra Pradesh, although the exact location where the system may make landfall is yet to be determined. According to the Meteorological Department, a low-pressure area currently persisting over the southeast Bay of Bengal is likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a depression over the same region by Sunday. It is then expected to move towards the north-northwest, strengthen into a deep depression by Monday morning and further intensify into a cyclonic storm over the south-central and west-central Bay of Bengal by Monday evening.

Some weather experts estimate that the system could intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by Wednesday before making landfall along the North Andhra coast. Under its influence, North Andhra Pradesh may experience heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds on Thursday and Friday. However, the likely landfall location and the system's future movement are yet to become clear.
