The India Meteorological Department on Monday said a new low-pressure area has formed over the Bay of Bengal, and is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm by October 23.
According to the weather department, the low pressure formed over east-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining north Andaman Sea around 5:30 am on Monday, influenced by Sunday's upper air cyclonic circulation over north Andaman Sea and adjoining east-central and southeast part of the sea.
"It is very likely to move west-northwestwards and intensify into a depression by 22nd October morning and into a cyclonic storm by 23rd October over east-central Bay of Bengal," it said in a press release.
The weather system is likely to move northwestwards to reach northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha - West Bengal coasts by October 24 morning, it added.
