The anticipated low-pressure area, the first pre-monsoon weather system, has formed over South-East Bay of Bengal and is expected to quickly grow into a depression.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) said this morning that the system would undergo intensification twice over by tomorrow.
The system is widely forecast to intensify as a cyclone and set itself in a direction towards the Myanmar/Bangladesh coast by Monday. The East Coast of India is not expected to be affected.
Global forecasts indicated that, after landfall, the storm may escalate the ongoing thundershower regime over Bangladesh and adjoining India's North-Eastern States.
Meanwhile, the IMD has forecast the possibility of heavy to very heavy thundershowers over the Andaman & Nicobar Islands from today.
Fishermen have been advised not to venture out in the seas along these islands in the South-East Bay of Bengal for the next three days.
Over land, heat wave conditions are expected to hold over Gujarat, Saurashtra, Kutch, and extend into adjoining parts of North-West India, including Punjab and Haryana.
