A low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to strengthen, prompting meteorologists to monitor its development closely.
A low‑pressure area has formed over the Bay of Bengal, with satellite imagery showing a developing system near the coast of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Meteorological experts warn that the system could intensify into a cyclonic disturbance if sea‑surface temperatures remain high and wind shear stays low.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed the area under a special watch, issuing regular updates and running high‑resolution models to track its movement.
While no immediate threat to land has been identified, authorities advise coastal communities to stay alert for possible heavy rainfall and strong winds.
