The Indian Meteorological Department has identified a fresh low‑pressure area over the Andaman Sea and forecasts it will develop into a depression within the next 48 hours.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has detected a new low‑pressure area over the Andaman Sea, situated off the eastern coast of India. According to the department’s latest analysis, the system is expected to intensify into a depression within the next two days.
A depression is a tropical low‑pressure system with sustained winds ranging from 34 to 47 knots. If the system follows the forecasted path, it could bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
IMD has issued a weather warning for the islands and is monitoring the system closely. Local authorities have been advised to prepare for potential flooding and to keep residents informed of any changes.
While the mainland is currently not in immediate danger, the department urges coastal communities to stay alert as the situation develops.
