Low pressure may form over Bay of Bengal; weather to stay mainly dry across the country

A low pressure may form over the Bay of Bengal, the weather office has said. However, it cannot yet be said whether it will turn into a cyclone.

In its forecast issued on Thursday (12 November), the office said the season's normal low lies over the south Bay of Bengal and its trough extends to the north-east Bay of Bengal.

According to the forecast, a low may form over the south-east Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas around 13 November. It may intensify further.

Until Friday (13 November) morning, the weather may remain mainly dry across the country with a temporarily partly cloudy sky. Night and day temperatures may remain nearly unchanged during this period.

For the next 24 hours from Saturday (14 November) morning, the weather is also forecast to remain mainly dry with a partly cloudy sky. Night temperatures may rise slightly across the country while day temperatures stay nearly unchanged.

The forecasts for the 24-hour periods from Sunday (15 November) and Monday (16 November) mornings also say the weather will remain mainly dry across the country with temperatures nearly unchanged. However, the extended five-day outlook mentions that rain may occur across the country.
