Cyclonic Circulation Forms Over South Andaman Sea; Odisha Likely to Remain Unaffected
Bhubaneswar: A cyclonic circulation has formed over the South Andaman Sea, prompting close monitoring by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The weather system is expected to gradually intensify over the coming days, though it is unlikely to have any significant impact on Odisha.
According to the IMD, the cyclonic circulation is likely to evolve into a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13.
The system may further strengthen into a well-marked low-pressure area by November 14 and develop into a depression over the Bay of Bengal by November 15.
Meteorologists have indicated that the system is expected to move northwestwards. Current forecasts suggest that Odisha will remain outside the zone of major influence, sparing the state from significant rainfall or severe weather activity.
The IMD has forecast dry weather conditions across Odisha for the next several days.
Both coastal and interior districts are likely to experience stable weather patterns, with no major rain-bearing systems expected to affect the state through November 21.
Authorities continue to monitor the evolving system over the Bay of Bengal.
Residents have been advised to follow official weather bulletins for the latest updates, although no cyclone-related alerts or warnings have been issued for Odisha at present.
