Meteorologists are tracking a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal that could intensify into a cyclone or remain a deep depression.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an advisory on a low-pressure system currently situated over the Bay of Bengal. Satellite observations show the system organizing, prompting forecasters to assess whether it will evolve into a cyclonic storm or stay as a deep depression.
Experts note that sea surface temperatures in the region remain conducive for further intensification, but wind shear and atmospheric conditions will determine the final classification. The IMD continues to update its forecasts at regular intervals and has urged coastal states to stay prepared.
Residents along the eastern coastline are advised to monitor official bulletins and heed any warnings regarding heavy rainfall, strong winds, or storm surges that could accompany the system if it strengthens.
The situation remains fluid, and the department will issue a cyclone warning if the system meets the required criteria for cyclogenesis.
