A fresh low pressure area may form over the equatorial Indian Ocean and adjoining south Andaman Sea between November 26 and December 2, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Saturday.
Several weather models are indicating the formation of the system with intensification into a higher category system over southeast Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood towards the end of forecasted period of time. “Most of the numerical models including IMD GFS, GEFS, NCUM, NEPS, ECMWF and ECMWF ensemble are indicating that a fresh low pressure area would form over equatorial Indian ocean and adjoining south Andaman Sea towards the later part of second week (November 26 to December 2) and its intensification into a higher category system (depression or above) over southeast Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood towards the end of second week,” the IMD predicted.
“Low probability is assigned for cyclogenesis (formation of a depression) over southeast Bay of Bengal towards end of second week,” weather office added.However, the Regional Office of IMD here said the minimum temperature (night temperature) is likely to rise by 2 to 3 degree Celsius during next two to three days over districts of Odisha.
