Bay of Bengal Low-Pressure System Raises Possibility of Another Cyclone
Even as rainfall activity begins to decrease across Bengal, another weather system is developing over the Bay of Bengal.
Weather experts indicate that a low-pressure area could form over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13. After developing, the system is expected to move northwestwards and may strengthen further over the following 24 hours, potentially developing into a well-marked low-pressure area.
There is also speculation that the system could intensify into a cyclonic storm named 'Akvan', a name contributed by Iran. However, there is currently no confirmation that it will develop into a cyclone.
The developing system could also affect weather conditions over the Andaman Sea and adjoining areas on November 14 and 15. Strong winds of 40-50 kmph, with gusts reaching 60 kmph, are possible over the sea during this period. Its potential impact on West Bengal remains uncertain.
