Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted the formation of a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal after May 6, 2023, and the system is likely to become more marked during the subsequent 24 hours.

“A cyclonic circulation is likely to develop over Southeast Bay of Bengal around 06th May 2023. Under its influence, a Low-Pressure Area is likely to form over the same region during subsequent 48 hours,” the agency said.
