IMD Forecasts Arabian Sea Depression and Heavy Rainfall in Southern India
A low-pressure system over the southwest Arabian Sea is expected to intensify into a depression within 24 hours but is projected to move northwest towards Somalia, making an impact on India unlikely. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department forecasts heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, with heavy rain in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Mahe. Thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are also expected across several other states through October 25.
