A fresh low-pressure area over the south Andaman Sea is likely to intensify into a depression over the Bay of Bengal within the next 48 hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday.

In its morning bulletin, the weather agency said the system formed around 5.30 am under the influence of an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the south Andaman Sea and adjoining areas.

The system is likely to move west-northwestwards and become a well-marked low-pressure area over the south Andaman Sea and adjoining Andaman and Nicobar Islands during the next 24 hours, the IMD said.

The weather system is expected to undergo further intensification thereafter, with the possibility of developing into a depression over the Bay of Bengal within the subsequent 48 hours, according to the forecast.
