A low-pressure area formed over East-Central Bay of Bengal and adjoining North Andaman Sea yesterday. It is very likely to move West-Northwestwards and intensify into a depression today and into a cyclonic storm by tomorrow (23) over East-Central Bay of Bengal, the Meteorology Department said.

Thereafter, it is very likely to move Northwestwards and reach Northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha-West Bengal coasts by October 24 morning.

Very strong winds (70-80) kmph accompanied with heavy rainfalls and very rough seas are likely over sea areas bounded by (06N – 22N) and (85E – 98E) during next few days (October 21 to 24).

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, North-western and Northern Provinces and in Trincomalee district. Fairly heavy showers above 75mm are likely at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern and Northern Provinces.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the other areas of the country during the evening or night and fairly heavy showers above 50mm are likely at some places.

The public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by temporary localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
