Low-Pressure Area Likely Over Bay of Bengal
The IMD said an upper air cyclonic circulation persists over the Gulf of Mannar and adjoining Sri Lanka, extending up to 5.8 km above mean sea level. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the southwest Bay of Bengal within the next 48 hours.
A trough in easterly winds is also extending from North Interior Karnataka to the cyclonic circulation over the Gulf of Mannar across South Interior Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Due to a steep pressure gradient, strong winds are likely to prevail along and off the North and South Gujarat coasts, while weather conditions over the remaining Arabian Sea are expected to remain seasonal.
