Kashyapi stated that a low-pressure area (LOW) is currently present over the Bay of Bengal (BoB). An off-shore trough is forming in the Arabian Sea (AS), the monsoon trough has tilted southward, and a shear zone is located at 20°N. Additionally, a fresh low-pressure area is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal around the 19th.
