Low-Pressure Area Likely Over Bay of Bengal on November 13

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of a possible weather disturbance over the Bay of Bengal, which could affect Andhra Pradesh. According to the weather department, a fresh low-pressure area is likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal on November 13. The system is expected to move gradually towards the northwest and may intensify into a well-marked low-pressure area within the following 24 hours. The development is being closely monitored by meteorological officials, particularly in view of the recent heavy rainfall and damage caused by Cyclones Arnab and Murasu in several districts of Andhra Pradesh.

Under the influence of the developing system, rough sea conditions and high waves are likely over the southeast Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea on November 14 and 15. Strong winds with speeds of 40–60 kmph may also prevail in these areas. In view of the potentially dangerous sea conditions, the IMD has issued a strict advisory asking fishermen not to venture into the sea during this period. The department has also indicated the possibility of rainfall in several parts of Andhra Pradesh and is continuing to monitor the movement and intensity of the weather system.
