The well-marked low-pressure area over the northwest and adjoining central Bay of Bengal has moved west-northwestwards and intensified into a depression. It is now centred over the northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal off the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coasts, the IMD said in its latest bulletin.

The depression is very likely to continue moving nearly westwards and cross the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coasts between Puri and Kalingapatnam, close to Gopalpur, around the morning of September 27, 2025.
