A cyclonic circulation has formed over the southern Andaman Sea, with predictions to intensify into a low-pressure area by November 13, a well-marked low by the 14th, and a depression by the 15th.
Despite this developing system, the Meteorological Department confirms it will not significantly impact Odisha, where dry weather and cold conditions will persist for the next week, with only partly cloudy skies in coastal pockets.
However, maritime conditions will turn volatile. The Andaman Sea and the southeastern to east-central Bay of Bengal will remain rough from November 13 to 16, featuring squally winds of 40 to 60 kmph.
Consequently, authorities have strictly advised fishermen to avoid venturing into the deep sea during this period.
