Heavy Rainfall In THESE States As Bay Of Bengal Turns Active

The Bay of Bengal is becoming active and is likely to generate two low-pressure areas this week. On Saturday, a cyclonic circulation formed over the North Andaman Sea and the adjoining Myanmar region.“Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the north Bay of Bengal in the next 24 hours,” the IMD said.

In view of the developing low-pressure system, the weather department has issued a warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall along the east coast, especially in Odisha.
