Chennai, Nov. 13 -- A Fresh Low Pressure area has formed over the Bay on Friday morning, which will intensify into a Depression on November 15 and will further concentrate into a Cyclonic Storm Akwan, the next day, which was expected to revive the Northeast monsoon rainfall activity.

In a special message, the IMD said under the influence of yesterday's upper air cyclonic circulation over central Andaman Sea and adjoining Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a Low Pressure area has formed over Southeast Bay of Bengal at 0530 hours and lay over the same region at 0830 hours of today.

It is very likely to move northwestwards, become a Well Marked Low Pressure area tomorrow and intensify into a Depression over the same region on November 15 morning. ...
