The Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre of the Department of Meteorology has issued a Special Weather Bulletin at 10.30 a.m. on 13 February 2026, warning of a possible low-pressure development in the region. According to the latest meteorological analysis, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the southeastern parts of the Bay of Bengal around 15th February.
Meteorologists are closely monitoring atmospheric conditions in the area, as such systems have the potential to intensify depending on environmental factors including sea surface temperatures and wind patterns. While the system has not yet developed, early identification allows authorities and the public to prepare in advance for any adverse weather conditions that may arise.
Low-pressure systems in the Bay of Bengal can sometimes lead to increased rainfall, strong winds, and rough sea conditions in surrounding regions. However, at this stage, officials emphasize that this is an early advisory and not a cause for panic. The situation remains under continuous observation.
The general public, particularly those in coastal and maritime communities, are strongly advised to stay attentive to future forecasts and official bulletins issued by the Department of Meteorology. Fishermen and seafarers are encouraged to remain updated on weather advisories before venturing into the sea.
Further updates will be released as more information becomes available. Citizens are urged to rely only on official sources for accurate and timely weather information.
