Fresh low pressure likely in Bay of Bengal, may intensify into a depression

While a cyclonic storm is on its way in Arabian Sea, there is a fresh weather system brewing in Bay of Bengal. A cyclonic circulation is seen over North Andaman Sea and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal.
According to Skymet Weather, the system is very likely to intensify into a low-pressure area during the next 24 hours. In fact, chances are bright that it may induce a depression thereafter.
With this, heavy rains are likely over Andaman and Nicobar Islands. However, the cyclonic circulation is presently far away from Indian mainland to have any impact over the weather in terms of rains.
The weather system is tracking northwards, leaving less chances for it to give rains over the East Coast. However, for any further deviation its movement, we need to wait and watch.
As per weathermen, the system is moving in very favourable weather conditions. Warm sea surface temperatures and low vertical wind shear would continue to give more strength to the cyclonic circulation.
This weather system is an offshoot from the active ITCZ (Inter Tropical Convergence Zone) that is lying close to the equator, with series of embedded cyclonic circulations, moving from east to west direction.
Not only this, as reiterated before, MJO (Madden-Julian Oscillation) is also present in the close proximity of Indian Ocean and is likely to visit the Indian waters soon. This has also been providing favourable weather conditions for the enhancement of such weather systems between October 6-12.
