A developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal could bring strong winds, rough
seas and unsettled weather conditions to parts of the region from November 14, 2026,
according to the latest weather guidance bulletin.

Strong winds and rough seas, particularly for multi-day fishing boats operating 
in the deep-sea areas of the Southeast Bay of Bengal.

### **Low-Pressure Area Expected to Develop**

According to the latest forecast, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the
Southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13. The system is expected to move northwestwards
and may become a well-marked low-pressure area within the following 24 hours.

Under the influence of this developing weather system, squally weather conditions
are likely over the Andaman Sea and Southeast Bay of Bengal on November 14 and 15.

Wind speeds are expected to reach 40–50 kmph, with gusts potentially increasing 
up to 60 kmph. Sea conditions in these areas are also forecast to become rough to
very rough during this period.

### **Fishermen and Naval Communities Advised to Be Vigilant**

Fishermen and naval communities, particularly those operating multi-day fishing 
vessels in the Southeast Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea, have been advised not to
venture into these sea areas on November 14 and 15 due to the expected rough weather
conditions.

The bulletin also highlights the possibility of further development of the weather
system. The probability of cyclogenesis, or the formation of a depression, is forecast
to increase during the 144–168-hour period.

### **Other Weather Conditions**

Scattered to broken cloud cover with embedded intense convection is expected over
the Northeast Bay of Bengal, Central and South Bay of Bengal, Andaman Sea, Arakan
Coast, Gulf of Martaban and Tenasserim Coast.

Meanwhile, an upper-air cyclonic circulation is prevailing over the Gulf of Mannar
and surrounding areas. Cloudy conditions with showers are also expected over parts
of the Arabian Sea and surrounding regions.

Fishermen, naval personnel and coastal communities are urged to closely monitor 
official weather forecasts and advisories issued by the Department of Meteorology
as the system develops.
