Depression forms in Bay, uncertainty over cyclone formation
Posted on: 07/Dec/2017 6:28:23 PM
The depression persisting over the southeast Bay of Bengal has moved northwards in the past six hours. Presently the speed of squally winds is 50 to 55 kmph. The cloud formation is showing signs of intensification and hence this system is likely to concentrate into a deep depression in the next 12 hours.
It will move northwards inching close to the coast. Wind shear and sea surface temperatures will continue to favour its growth. In wake of this weather system, light rainfall is likely to commence over North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Gangetic West Bengal from the night of December 7.
Thereafter, rainfall activity is likely to pick up the pace gradually. The sea conditions will remain rough during that time and hence fishermen and locals are advised to take precautions before venturing out into the sea.
