THE low pressure area (LPA) expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 22 (Saturday) is likely to intensify into a depression, potentially setting the stage for another wet spell across the state.

The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, said the LPA is “very likely to move west-northwestwards and intensify into a depression over the central parts of south Bay of Bengal around November 24,” before strengthening further over the southwest Bay during the subsequent 48 hours, said P Senthamarai Kannan, director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre.
