We had predicted a low pressure/depression in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea almost a week ago. The system will form on September 14, 2015 near the Andhra coast.
The Bay of Bengal is already showing increased storm activity in preparation of the birth of the rain maker weather system.
The low pressure area will form off the eastern coast of India near Andhra Pradesh and hover around for the next two days till September 18 bringing heavy rainfall in Andhra Pradesh.
It will then cross the coast and move through Andhra, Telangana, Northern Karnataka, Maharashtra onto Mumbai.
Very heavy rains are expected in Mumbai on September 20.
The low pressure area will then intensify again in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea into a depression/deep depression (Forecasts rule out a tropical cyclone presently, but 10 days is a long long time in weather forecasting. Anything can happen).
The depression is expected to move along the Saurashtra coast into the open sea and reach the coast of central Oman on September 23, 2015. Though the European model believes it will move into Gujarat on September 20. We have to wait awhile before the picture becomes clearer.
In a nutshell the low pressure area is going to bring very heavy rains to Andhra to Mumbai from September 14.
A SECOND DEPRESSION IN THE BAY OF BENGAL?
A forecast model predicts a depression moving into Odisha on September 21, 2015, but this is yet to be confirmed by other models. It appears that the present low pressure area in the South China Sea is going to do a lot of travelling over Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar and then hop over into the Bay of Bengal on September 19. This will then gain strength and become a deep depression and hit Odisha as we have said earlier. Chances are this predicted system has the makings of another tropical cyclone. As there are 10 more days to go and forecasts have the habit of changing in these many days.
