A low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a depression and is expected to develop further into a deep depression within the next 24 hours, the Department of Meteorology stated.

The system is expected to move west-northwestwards and cross the north Andhra Pradesh–south Odisha coast.

The Met Department warned of deteriorating sea conditions, with winds reaching up to 70 kmph in warning areas and very rough seas.

Naval and fishing communities have been advised not to venture into the affected sea areas until further notice and to monitor official updates.
