Another low pressure brewing in Bay of Bengal! likely to form around Dussehra

A new weather system is likely to emerge soon, according to the IMD's prediction. An upper air cyclonic circulation is expected to form over the north Andaman Sea by 30th September.

Under its influence, a new low-pressure area is forecast to develop over the north and adjoining central Bay of Bengal around 1st October 2025.

The IMD has advised close monitoring of these evolving systems as they may influence the rainfall pattern in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and neighbouring states in the coming days. Fishermen have also been cautioned about possible rough sea conditions in the Bay of Bengal.

Meanwhile, the Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar reported on Saturday that a depression over south coastal Odisha has continued to move westwards at a speed of 15 kmph during the past six hours.

As of 0830 hours IST today, the system was centered over south interior Odisha, near latitude 19.3°N and longitude 84.2°E about:

1.    50 km east-northeast of Gunupur (Odisha),
2.    70 km west of Gopalpur (Odisha),
3.    130 km south of Phulbani (Odisha),
4.    130 km east-southeast of Bhawanipatna (Odisha), and
5.    230 km east of Jagdalpur (Chhattisgarh).

Weather experts have indicated that the system is likely to continue moving nearly westwards across south Odisha and into Chhattisgarh over the next 24 hours. During this movement, it is expected to weaken gradually into a well-marked low-pressure area, thereby reducing its intensity.
