Cyclone Formation Expected Over Bay of Bengal: Precautions Advised

A developing Cyclonic Circulation is anticipated to emerge over the South Andaman Sea and its neighboring regions around the 25th of November. Under its influence, a Low-Pressure Area is likely to take shape over the South Andaman Sea and its vicinity around the 26th of November. The system is projected to move west-northwestwards, intensifying into a Depression over the Southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Andaman Sea by the 27th of November.

As a result of these developments, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands can expect light to moderate rainfall at many places, accompanied by isolated thunderstorms and lightning during the period from the 26th to the 27th of November. Additionally, isolated heavy rainfall is also likely over the Andaman & Nicobar Islands during this same timeframe.

The approaching cyclone is expected to bring squally weather conditions, with wind speeds reaching 40-45 kmph gusting to 55 kmph over the South Andaman Sea on the 26th of November. Furthermore, squally weather with higher wind speeds, reaching 45-55 kmph and gusting up to 65 kmph, is anticipated over the South Andaman Sea and adjoining Southeast Bay of Bengal.

In light of these weather developments, fishermen are strongly advised to exercise caution and refrain from venturing into the South Andaman Sea on the 26th and 27th of November. Similarly, precautions are recommended for those operating in the Southeast Bay of Bengal on the 27th of November.
