This low pressure is likely to move in the northeast direction and strengthen as a cyclone over the central Bay of Bengal region on the 24th of this month. There is a possibility that this cyclone will move in the northeast direction, become stronger, and reach the northeast and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal region on the 25th of this month.

Conditions are favorable for the southwest monsoon to extend into the South Bay of Bengal, the rest of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and parts of the North Central Bay of Bengal. Low-level winds in the state are mainly from the east.
