A new low-pressure area is expected to form over the Bay of Bengal within the next 48 hours.

This month, usually known for cyclonic activity in the Indian Seas, has remained unusually quiet so far.

The system is expected to originate near the southernmost Andaman Sea, close to the Malacca Strait, in a rare outlier location.

While such disturbances often dissipate due to weak Coriolis Force at lower latitudes, this one shows signs of intensifying into a significant system.

Current wind patterns and cloud clusters suggest that Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh should prepare for potential impacts. However, we emphasize waiting for clearer signs once the low-pressure area consolidates, as its track and strength will become more predictable then.
