VISHAKHAPATNAM: An upper air cyclonic circulation has formed over the equatorial Indian Ocean off Sumatra coast and adjoining South Andaman Sea at the lower tropospheric level on Thursday, a report of the Indian Meteorological Department, Amaravati, said.
Under its influence, a low pressure area is likely to form over southeast Bay of Bengal around Saturday, November 23. During the subsequent two days, it is likely to move west-north westwards, intensifying into a depression over central parts of south Bay of Bengal.
This is likely to bring heavy rains at isolated places over south coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema from November 26 onwards.
Similarly, private weather website Skymet said Bay of Bengal will become an active basin during the next one week. There are fair chances of a tropical storm coming up over south Bay of Bengal early next week. The first stage of any tropical disturbance is a cyclonic circulation and there is a broad but closed circulation already coming up over the extreme South Andaman Sea.

It may percolate on the sea surface as a low-pressure area within the next 48 hours.
This will further strengthen into a depression while keeping a safe distance from the east coast of Sri Lanka. Once it turns into a depression on November 24, it will upgrade to a deep depression and possibly a tropical storm anytime around the end of this week or start of the next week.
Climatologically, Sri Lanka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala are expected to face the fury of the likely storm, Skymet added.
