Atmospheric disturbance expected to develop over Bay of Bengal from Nov. 11 – Official

Daily Mirror and Newswire report that Sri Lanka’s Department of Meteorology expects a low-pressure area to form in the southeast Bay of Bengal at about November 13. Daily Mirror describes a developing atmospheric disturbance, while Newswire also mentions the neighbouring Andaman Sea.

Newswire reports that, after forming, the system may head northwest and become a well-marked low-pressure area within the next day. It forecasts winds of 40–50 km/h, with gusts as high as 60 km/h, across the Andaman Sea and the southeast Bay of Bengal on November 14 and 15.

Newswire says the Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre issued an amber alert for rough seas and strong winds on the afternoon of November 10. The alert is valid through 4 p.m. on November 13 and warns fishing and naval communities, especially crews on multi-day fishing boats in deep-sea waters of the southeast Bay of Bengal.

Newswire reports that the Meteorology Department advised those in the affected waters to be highly cautious and to keep checking official warnings and updated forecasts. Daily Mirror and Newswire point to formation around November 13; Newsfirst (සිංහල) and Ada Derana reports refer to a disturbance developing around November 11, while Ada Derana also has a headline saying the possible system could affect Sri Lanka from November 15.
