Under the influence of the cyclonic circulation over Northwest Bay of Bengal, a low-pressure area has formed over Northwest and adjoining West Central Bay of Bengal off north Andhra Pradesh and South Odisha coast.
In the last 24 hours, this feature became more marked turning into a low pressure area. The system is expected to be partly on land i.e. over Odisha and partially over the Bay of Bengal today and tomorrow, giving rains over the state of Odisha and adjoining areas. Thereafter the system is expected to cross coast further covering North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, South Chhattisgarh and North Telangana.
The system may not be a very strong system, however its spread will be seen over both east and Central parts along with further more giving some rains over Western as well as northern parts of the country.
The states that are likely to get some good rainfall activities include Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The system will also impact Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal, Delhi, Haryana and Uttarakhand indirectly resulting in rains of varied intensity.
The low pressure area will be affecting many parts for as long as a week or so. However, flooding rains are ruled out. In fact, these rains will help in bringing down the deficient figures.
