The Indian Meteorological Department says a weather system over the Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a cyclone by November 16.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a bulletin indicating that a low‑pressure system currently situated over the Bay of Bengal is expected to strengthen into a cyclonic storm by November 16.
The agency’s forecast relies on satellite imagery and model guidance that show rising convection and wind speeds around the system.
IMD has placed the system under close watch and will release further advisories as it approaches the criteria for cyclonic classification.
Coastal state authorities have been advised to remain vigilant, monitor updates and ready contingency measures should the system intensify further.
