Updated on September 12, 2015 1:10 PM (IST): Low pressure Area forms in Bay of Bengal
The low pressure area has formed over west central & adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal under the influence of the upper air cyclonic circulation that has persisting for last few days over westcentral Bay of Bengal. Due to this system, heavy rain at isolated places over Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coast is expected in next two days after which the system will move towards Peninsular India.
Updated on September 12, 2015 10:35 AM (IST): Low pressure Area in Bay of Bengal soon
Owing to favourable conditions continuing, the cyclonic circulation is expected to intensify into a low pressure area in next 24 hours. The system that came closer to East Coast yesterday will continue to slide along the East Coast during the next week followed by a southerly location. The system will give fairly widespread rainfall along the coast including Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
The trough branching out from this system is extending up to Uttar Pradesh that will give rain over Chhattisgarh, North Bihar and East Uttar Pradesh.
Updated on September 11, 2015 12:35 PM (IST): Cyclonic circulation in Bay of Bengal moves closer to East Coast

According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the system is likely to persist over this area for next two more days. However, it will continue to get more organised during this period.
The system is expected to gain strength thereafter and intensify into a low pressure area but not before September 15. This system will then move inland and affect the weather over Peninsular India.
Updated on September 10, 2015 12:33 PM (IST): Low pressure area to reduce rainfall deficiency in South Peninsula region
As the cyclonic circulation intensifies and develop into a low pressure area after 48 hours, the Monsoon system is likely to give enough rain over South Peninsula region that will be sufficient in bringing down the rainfall deficiency over the region. The cyclonic circulation has already given rain over coastal Andhra Pradesh and Odisha in past 2-3 days.
According to Skymet, the cyclonic circulation persisting in Bay of Bengal has taken time to intensify into a low pressure due to the commencement of withdrawal of Southwest Monsoon. Though as soon as it organizes further, good Monsoon rain is expected over parts of South Peninsula region including Karnataka and Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
In last 4-5 days, light rain has been instrumental in bringing down the rainfall deficiency of South Peninsula region by 4%. From a deficiency of 21% on 5th September, the region is now looking at a deficiency of 17%. Once Monsoon becomes active in next couple of days, this rainfall deficiency will drop further, bringing in the respite to locals.
Updated on September 9, 2015 1:55 PM (IST): Cyclonic circulation in Bay of Bengal to intensify further
The cyclonic circulation over west-central Bay of Bengal is likely to gain more strength, keeping Southwest Monsoon active over Bay of Bengal and coastal parts of East India.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the system is presently in process of getting more marked and is likely to intensify into a low pressure area during next 2-3 days.
The system is also gradually shifting closer to the East Coast. Under the influence of this cyclonic circulation, we can expect moderate to heavy showers over Bay of Bengal. While, scattered light to moderate rains are expected over Odisha and Andhra Coast.
As per Skymet, the intensity of rain over parts of East India will increase as the system moves closer to the coast. And with system moving inland, rain belt will also cover Peninsular India.
Updated on September 7, 2015 1:11 PM (IST): Fresh Monsoon system brewing in Bay of Bengal
A fresh Monsoon system is seen developing in Bay of Bengal. At present, we can see a trough of low pressure area in East Central Bay of Bengal which is in the process of becoming more organised.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, it is likely to intensify into a cyclonic circulation during the next 24 hours and thereafter into a low pressure area. This procedure will take at least two to three days to intensify while it will simultaneously shift westwards, closer to the East Coast.
Skymet predicts, the system is expected to move inland through Odisha or Andhra coast causing good rain over these two states. The system is likely to influence weather over Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Few parts of Maharashtra will also get some light rain.
With this Peninsular India, which is witnessing the highest rain deficiency till now, will see prolonged spell of rain that may improve the situation to some extent.
As per the statistics, we see more number of cyclonic circulations in Bay of Bengal in September as compared to July and August. However, by this time, Monsoon is on the verge of withdrawal from Northwest India. Thus, these system do not travel far up to west and are only confined to East and Northeast India.
