Bhubaneswar, Nov. 19 -- A fresh weather system is taking shape over the Bay of Bengal, raising concerns of possible cyclone formation next week. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a low-pressure area is likely to develop over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 22. The system is expected to move in a west-northwest direction and intensify into a depression over the central parts of the south Bay of Bengal by November 24.

Thereafter, it will very likely to continue to move west-northwestwards and intensify further over the southwest Bay of Bengal during the subsequent 48 hours, the IMD added.

The IMD will issue more detailed updates once the low-pressure area forms.
