Additionally, a cyclonic circulation continues to persist over the southwest Bay of Bengal, extending up to 5.8 km above sea level and tilting towards the southeast. This is likely to develop into a low-pressure area that will move slowly westward towards the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka over the next two days.

A trough from the southwest Bay of Bengal to the east-central Bay of Bengal is also influencing local weather patterns, with effects extending up to 1.5 km above sea level.
