Vijayawada, Nov 15 (UNI) The depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal and the adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal has moved in a north-northwesterly direction at a speed of 15 kmph over the past 6 hours.
Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority MD Prakhar Jain said here on Sunday that the system is currently centered 620 km from Trincomalee (Sri Lanka), 680 km from Sri Vijaya Puram (Andaman and Nicobar Islands), 800 km from Chennai, 960 km from Visakhapatnam, and 1070 km from Gopalpur (Odisha).

It is expected to move in a north-northwesterly direction, intensifying into a “cyclonic storm” by tomorrow over the southern and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal, and further into a severe cyclonic storm over the west-central Bay of Bengal by the day after tomorrow.

It was further stated that the system is likely to strengthen even more over the following two days while moving in a northwesterly direction towards the coast of Andhra Pradesh. The system is likely to intensify further over the next two days and move in a north-westerly direction towards the coast of Andhra Pradesh.

Fishermen have been warned against venturing into the sea. Due to this system, heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected on Thursday and Friday. Along the coastal Andhra region, gusty winds with speeds of 40–60 kmph are expected until Tuesday, with the intensity likely to increase thereafter.
