Yesterday’s depression over southeast Bay of Bengal moved westwards, intensified into a deep depression over southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal in the early morning (0530 hrs IST) of today, the 1st December, 2020. At 0830 hrs IST of today, it lay over the same region near latitude 7.8° N and longitude 85.7°E, about 500 km eastsoutheast of Trincomalee (Sri Lanka) and 900 km east-southeast of Kanniyakumari (India).
It is very likely to intensify further into a cyclonic storm during next 24 hours.
