Kolkata, October 24 (Udaipur Kiran): A new low-pressure system is expected to form over the Bay of Bengal, even as the previous one has weakened. According to weather scientists, the new system is likely to develop over the southeast Bay of Bengal by Friday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) noted that this will be the 47th low-pressure system to form over the Bay of Bengal this year.
Under its influence, Kolkata and several districts of South Bengal are expected to witness light to moderate rainfall on Saturday and Sunday.
Earlier, a cyclonic circulation over the Andaman Sea had intensified into a clear low-pressure area and later into a deep depression. It was initially projected to make landfall near the Tamil Nadu–Andhra Pradesh coast, but its intensity weakened before reaching the mainland, reducing it back to a low-pressure area. The system is now expected to move across Karnataka and reach the Arabian Sea by Saturday.
Meanwhile, another cyclonic circulation has formed over the southern Andaman Sea, which may evolve into a low-pressure area over the southeast and east-central Bay of Bengal by Saturday. The Alipore Meteorological Office stated that this system could strengthen further within the next 24 hours.
The low-pressure area is expected to move west-northwestward towards the southeast coast of India. However, the IMD has clarified that it is unlikely to have a major impact on West Bengal’s weather. Still, light to moderate scattered rain is expected across 15 districts of South Bengal, particularly in East and West Medinipur and Jhargram from Friday, followed by rainfall in other districts over the weekend.
