NEW DELHI : A low-pressure area has formed over the southeast Bay of Bengal and is likely to intensify into a depression by November 15, the IMD said on Friday.

The system formed at 5.30 am under the influence of an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the central Andaman Sea and adjoining Andaman and Nicobar Islands, according to the latest weather update. "The low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal is likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a depression by November 15," it said.

It is likely to move northwestwards and become a well-marked low-pressure area around November 14 before intensifying into a depression over the same region, it said. Under its influence, squally weather with wind speeds of about 50 kmph, gusting up to 60 kmph, is likely over the Andaman Sea on November 13 and 14 and over the southeast Bay of Bengal from November 13 to 16.
