Low pressure over Bay of Bengal becomes well-marked; system to recurve north-northeastwards: IMD

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday informed that yesterday’s low pressure area over central parts of the South Bay of Bengal (BoB) moved northwestwards. It currently lay as a well-marked low pressure area over south-west and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal.

As per IMD, the associated cyclonic circulation also extends up to middle tropospheric levels.

IMD’s Forecast

In its latest weather forecast, IMD said It is likely to move north-northwestwards over west-central Bay of Bengal during the next 24 hours, maintaining its intensity of a well-marked low-pressure area.

What Will Happen After That?

The India Meteorological Department further informed that after moving north-northwestwards over west-central Bay of Bengal, the system is likely to recurve nearly north-northeastwards and weaken gradually over the central Bay of Bengal during the subsequent 24 hours.
