Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted the development of a low-pressure area over the North Bay of Bengal and its surrounding areas by October 4.

Although the IMD predicts the formation of this low-pressure system, no current forecast has been made regarding its intensification into a depression or cyclonic storm.
