Rains Likely To Lash State From Nov. 27: IMD

AP likely to face another cyclonic storm

Visakhapatnam: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday forecast formation of a low-pressure area over southeast Bay of Bengal on Saturday, November 22, which could move west-northwestward and intensify into a depression over central parts of south Bay of Bengal around November 24.

Weather experts anticipate that the system may turn into a cyclonic storm over the southwest Bay of Bengal, potentially setting the state for another wet spell over coastal AP as well as Rayalaseema from November 27 to November 30.

Ahead of the present system’s intensification, IMD advised farmers to complete the harvest works. Private weather website Skymet said the system has the potential to intensify into a cyclonic storm, although its future course would depend on how the system evolved.

Andhra Pradesh is in the shadow of another cyclonic storm. A low pressure area forming over southeast Bay of Bengal might intensify into depression and result in a storm.

If formed, this weather system may be called Senyar (lion) as proposed by the UAE.
