Low-Pressure System Could Intensify, Bringing Heavy Rain Across South India
‘Murasu’ Approach Andhra
A new cyclone threat is forming in the Bay of Bengal.
A low-pressure area is getting stronger over the southeastern part of the bay and might become a cyclonic storm by Sunday.
If it becomes a storm, it will be named ‘Murasu’.
This system is moving towards the Indian coast, heading west-northwest.
It’s expected to reach the Andhra Pradesh coast by Monday evening.
The India Meteorological Department said the system started near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
It could become a depression by Saturday evening, and there’s a chance it will get even stronger by Sunday.
This system might cause heavy rain in coastal Andhra Pradesh.
Yanam, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala could also see rain. Tamil Nadu might have heavy rain until November 5.
While Kerala and Mahe could see rain until November 4.
Meanwhile, the sea along the Andhra Pradesh coast could become rough.
Winds are expected to be between 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, with gusts up to 50 kilometers per hour in some places.
The weather department has told fishermen and people living along the coast to stay aware and listen to official warnings.
The IMD is still keeping a close watch on how the system moves and how strong it gets.
