A low-pressure area has formed over the southeastern Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas and could intensify into a depression before potentially developing into a cyclonic storm, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).
The development was mentioned in the department's weather forecast issued for the 12 hours from 9am on Friday.
Meteorologist Md Omar Faruk told the media that the system formed on Friday morning and could intensify into a depression before potentially developing into a cyclone.
It may move towards the coasts of India's Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, he said, adding that its direction would become clearer if it develops into a depression.
According to the BMD, the influence of the system may keep the weather across the country mainly dry, with temporarily partly cloudy skies, until Tuesday.
Night and daytime temperatures are likely to remain largely unchanged across the country, although some areas may experience rainfall.
