As predicted, a low pressure area has formed over Eastcentral and adjoining Southeast Arabian Sea off north Kerala and Karnataka coasts, informed India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday.

As per IMD, it is very likely to move west­northwestwards away from India coast and become well marked low pressure area over Eastcentral and adjoining Southeast Arabian Sea by December 14 morning. Subsequently, the system is likely to concentrate into a depression over Eastcentral Arabian Sea around December 15 morning.

In another development, IMD has predicted drop in minimum temperature (night) temperature in Odisha after 48 hours.

“There will be no large change in minimum temperature (Night temperature) during the next two days and gradually fall by 3-4 degree Celsius thereafter at many places over the districts of Odisha,” said IMD.

IMD’s Regional Centre in Bhubaneswar has also issued an alert for fog in several parts of the state. On Tuesday, normal life in several districts including Cuttack and Bhubaneswar was affected due to intense fog.
