A low-pressure area has formed over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining west-central Bay, near the coasts of northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha, and may intensify further, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).

The monsoon is active over the northern parts of Bangladesh and moderately active elsewhere, with a moderate presence over the north Bay.
