The Meteorological Department stated that a low-pressure area may form over the south-eastern part of the Bay of Bengal by 13 November. As a cyclonic circulation forms over the southern Andaman Sea and adjoining areas, it may move north-west and intensify in the next 24 hours. It may intensify into a depression by 15 November.
The path is still uncertain, but it may approach the coastal belt between Ongole, Chennai and Puducherry on November 16 or 17. It may affect the southern Coastal Andhra Pradesh or northern Tamil Nadu. However, dry air may weaken it and it may move over the coastal belt as a depression or deep depression. Officials said they would know more details about the movement and intensity in the coming days.
Andhra Pradesh government has issued advisories to the fishermen. They have advised fishermen not to go to south-eastern, south-western or central bay of Bengal as the sea would be rough from Saturday to Tuesday.
The Meteorological Department said that there is no effect from the system in Andhra Pradesh now. North easterly winds are blowing in the lower troposphere of Andhra Pradesh and Yanam. Amaravati Meterological centre said that dry weather is likely to prevail over Coastal Andhra, Yanam and Rayalaseema for next three days.
Telangana is experiencing colder nights. However, during the day sunny weather will prevail. There will be no rains in the state in the coming week. People have been advised to take precautions as the temperature will drop further at night.
