ඉදිරි කාලගුණය ගැන විශේෂ නිවේදනයක් - බෙංගාල බොක්කේ අඩු පීඩන කලාපයක්

Daily Mirror reports that Sri Lanka’s Department of Meteorology warned of adverse weather in the coming days as a new low-pressure area was likely to form over the southeast and adjoining east-central Bay of Bengal. Lankadeepa reports that a low-pressure area near Sri Lanka was moving away as another formed near the North Andaman Islands.

Rupavahini News and Sri Lanka Mirror report that the North Andaman system was expected to develop into a depression on October 24, moving west-northwest with a slight westward bias. By October 25, Newsfirst and Newsfirst (සිංහල) report that the system had become a depression over the Bay of Bengal. Newsfirst says it was centred at 8.30 a.m. that day and was very likely to strengthen further into a deep depression.

Rupavahini News forecast that the system could become a deep depression on October 25 and a cyclone over the west-central Bay of Bengal by the morning of October 26. Newswire’s headline says a severe cyclonic storm was expected by Tuesday, while Ada Derana’s headline also describes forecasts of a severe cyclonic storm. Hiru News’s headline says the developing cyclone could threaten Andhra Pradesh.

Rupavahini News says the system itself was not expected to have a direct effect on Sri Lanka, but winds drawn toward it were forecast to increase rain over the island’s southwest in the following days. It forecast showers or thunderstorms at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Northern and North Western provinces, and rain after 1 p.m. elsewhere, with some places receiving more than 50 millimetres.

Rupavahini News also advised precautions against lightning and temporary strong winds accompanying thunderstorms, and said mist was possible in parts of the Central and Uva provinces during early mornings. Newsfirst (සිංහල) and Hiru News (සිංහල) headlines report heavier rain, including totals exceeding 100 millimetres in multiple districts, while Hiru News (தமிழ்) flags increased rain and wind in parts of Sri Lanka.
