Low-Pressure System Intensifies Over the Bay of Bengal

A low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is gradually intensifying and is likely to develop into a depression by tomorrow, according to weather officials. It is expected to strengthen into a cyclonic storm by November 16, with the possibility of intensifying into a severe cyclonic storm by the morning of November 18. Once it develops into a cyclone, it will be named ‘Aqwan’. The system is likely to move towards the Andhra Pradesh coast, raising concerns over weather conditions in the region.

Officials estimate that the cyclone may cross the coast on November 20. In view of the developing weather system, several districts of Andhra Pradesh are likely to receive rainfall from November 18. Authorities are closely monitoring its movement and intensity, while further clarity is expected regarding the likely landfall location and the extent of its impact over the coming days.
