Depression in Bay of Bengal to bring rainfall in Andaman: IMD

A depression in the Bay of Bengal will bring rainfall over the Andaman Islands in the next two days, even as the development is most likely to intensify into a "cyclonic storm", IMD said today.
According to the Cyclone Warning Division of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a depression is at present over central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal.
It is about 400 km west-northwest of Port Blair and 750 km west-southwest of Yangoon, it said.
"Rainfall at many places with heavy rainfall at isolated places is very likely to occur over Andaman Islands on October 22 and 23.

"Squally winds with a speed ranging between 45-55 kmph and 65 kmph would blow over Andaman Islands and adjoining sea areas during next 48 hours. The sea condition is very likely to be rough to very rough along and off Andaman Islands during the next 48 hours," the IMD said.
M Mohapatra, Head of Cyclone Warning Division said, "The depression will continue to move east-northeastwards and reach near Myanmar coast on October 23.
