Low Pressure Over Bay Of Bengal Turns Into Visible Depression: IMD

Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday said that the low-pressure area formed in the Southeast Bay of Bengal turned into a visible depression on Tuesday.

According to the IMD, the low-pressure area is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas of the East Central Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea around May 10.

The cyclonic storm is likely to gradually move north-northwestwards towards the east-central Bay of Bengal till May 11. Thereafter, it is likely to recurve gradually and move north-northeastwards towards the Bangladesh-Myanmar coasts.

However, Odisha is unlikely to be affected by the cyclone but may experience moderate to heavy rainfall.
