Jamshedpur, Sept 7: The prevailing low pressure over the Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a depression and this would result in rain at many places from tomorrow, said weathermen today.
Low-pressure area
Met officials at IMD’s Ranchi Meteorological Centre said that the low-pressure area over the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal lay over the central and adjoining north Bay of Bengal.
The associated cyclonic circulation was extending up to 7.6 Km above the mean sea level tilting southwestwards with height.
Northwest Bay of Bengal
It is likely to move slowly nearly northwards and intensify into a depression over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas of Gangetic West Bengal, north Odisha and Bangladesh coasts around September 9.
Thereafter, it is likely to move west northwestwards across Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining north Odisha, Jharkhand and adjoining north Chhattisgarh during the subsequent three days.
The monsoon trough at mean sea level was passing through Bikaner, Narnaul, Sidhi, and Sambalpur, the centre of the above low-pressure area over the Central adjoining North Bay of Bengal.
A trough runs from southeast Uttar Pradesh to a cyclonic circulation associated with the low-pressure area over the central adjoining North Bay of Bengal across north Chhattisgarh and north Odisha between 1.5 and 3.1 km above the mean sea level.
