The Indian Meteorological Department forecasts a cyclonic circulation and low pressure over the Andaman Sea on October 23, urging vigilance.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a bulletin indicating that a low‑pressure area is likely to develop over the Andaman Sea on October 23. The system is expected to exhibit cyclonic circulation, a typical feature of early‑season disturbances in the region.
Meteorologists note that while the centre of the low pressure may remain over open water, peripheral effects could bring moderate to strong winds and increased cloud cover to nearby islands and coastal areas. No immediate threat of severe weather such as heavy rainfall or storm surges has been reported, but authorities are monitoring the situation closely.
The IMD has advised fishermen, maritime operators and residents of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to stay updated with official advisories and to exercise caution when venturing out to sea during the forecast period.
