New Delhi:
The Andaman and Nicobar archipelago will receive rainfall in the next two days due to a depression over southeast Bay of Bengal, which is likely to turn into a cyclonic storm, the MET department today said.
According to Cyclone Warning Division of the India Meteorological Department, the depression lays centered around 1260 km south-southeast of Vishakhapatnam, 1310 km south-southeast of Gopalpur and 260 km west-southwest of Car Nicobar.
However, it is yet to make any forecast on landfall.
"It is very likely to intensify into a deep depression during next 24 hours and into a cyclonic storm in subsequent 24 hours.
"Light to moderate rainfall at most places with heavy to very heavy falls at a few places is very likely to commence over A&N Islands during next 48 hours," the IMD said.
Squally winds speed reaching 40-50 kmph gusting to 60 kmph would prevail over A&N Islands during this time.
Sea condition would also be "rough to very rough" along and off A&N Islands. Fishermen are advised not to venture into sea along and off the islands during next two days.
