By News National Editorial Team

Andhra Pradesh is preparing for another potential severe cyclonic storm as a depression over the Bay of Bengal is forecast to intensify into Cyclone Akvan over the coming days.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD), in its National Bulletin No. 2 issued on November 15, warned that the depression was moving northwards and was likely to strengthen into a cyclonic storm on November 16.

The system could intensify further into a severe cyclonic storm on November 17 before moving northwestwards towards the Andhra Pradesh coast.

Weather system under close monitoring

At 8:30 am on November 15, the depression was located near latitude 9.3°N and longitude 86.9°E.

It was approximately 840 kilometres east-southeast of Chennai and 1,010 kilometres south-southeast of Visakhapatnam.

The system was moving at approximately 10 kilometres per hour.

Coastal districts face possible rainfall and wind impacts

The developing system has raised concerns among residents of coastal Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring Odisha.

Heavy rainfall, strong winds and rough sea conditions could affect coastal communities, transport, agriculture and fishing operations.

Authorities are expected to monitor vulnerable areas and coordinate emergency preparedness.

Fishermen advised to follow official warnings

Fishermen should avoid entering unsafe sea areas and follow the latest weather advisories.

Residents should secure loose outdoor objects, monitor local administration announcements and avoid spreading unverified information about the storm's landfall.

Landfall location remains uncertain

Although the IMD forecast the system's movement towards the Andhra Pradesh coast, the precise landfall location and final intensity were not confirmed in the November 15 bulletin.

The next forecasts will be important for determining the likely impact on coastal districts.
