Bhubaneswar: The regional office of the India Meteorological Department said on Sunday that the depression over the east central Bay of Bengal has deepened into the same area.
"The depression over eastcentral Bay of Bengal deepened into a deep depression during the past six hours and lay centred at 5.30 am over the same region around 580 km northwest of Port Blair, 700 km south of Sagar Island, and 830 km south of Barisal (Bangladesh)," the report stated.
Within the next 12 hours, it is quite likely to travel northwest and strengthen into a cyclonic storm over the central Bay of Bengal. The MeT office said that it would then recurve, move north-northeastward, and cross the Bangladeshi coast between Tinkona Island and Sandwip early on October 25.
