Low Pressure likely to form over Arabian sea, intensify into depression

Under the influence of a well-marked cyclonic circulation over the east-central Arabian Sea and adjoining coastal areas of north Karnataka and Goa, a low-pressure area is likely to form within the next 12 hours.

According to India Meteorological Department (IMD) scientist Umashankar Das, this system is expected to move northwards and gradually intensify. Within the subsequent 36 hours, the low-pressure area is likely to develop further into a depression.
