According to the IMD’s latest weather bulletin issued at 5.30 am, an upper-air cyclonic circulation persists over the Gulf of Thailand and adjoining areas of Thailand and Myanmar.
The weather system is likely to move west-northwestwards and emerge over the North Andaman Sea on Wednesday, the IMD stated.
Under the influence of this circulation, a low-pressure area is expected to form over the southeast and adjoining east-central Bay of Bengal around October 23.
The system is subsequently likely to move northwestwards and undergo further intensification, the weather agency said.
The developing weather system is being closely monitored as it progresses over the Bay of Bengal. Further developments will depend on its movement and intensification in the coming days.
The IMD is expected to provide further updates on the system’s development and its possible implications as more meteorological information becomes available.
