The well-marked low pressure area which was persisting over southeast Bay of Bengal since many days has now intensified in to a depression. We expect it to further concentrate into a deep depression by tomorrow. It will start travelling northwest direction towards west-central Bay of Bengal during the next 48 hours.

Thereafter, it will start recurving in north northeast direction towards North Andhra Pradesh and South Odisha coast. As the weather system will reach near the coast around evening of December 8 it is expected to lose its intensity due to unfavorable weather conditions such as high vertical wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures.

Therefore, it will make landfall as a depression. As per weathermen, light rains are expected over North Andhra Pradesh coast and Odisha by December 7 which will intensify on December 8 and 9. Gangetic West Bengal as well as Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura will also witness good rains during this period.

On December 8 and 9 strong winds of 40 to 50 kmph gusting to 60 kmph are expected to blow over Odisha and Andhra Pradesh coast. Sea will become rough during this period and hence fishermen and locals are advised not to venture out in the sea.
