Low Pressure Likely Over South Bay of Bengal; Fishermen Advised Not to Venture into Sea Till February 20

A low-pressure system is likely to form over the South Bay of Bengal, prompting authorities to warn fishermen against venturing into the sea till February 20. The weather system may impact coastal Odisha with rough sea conditions and gusty winds.

In a significant weather update, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the South Bay of Bengal in the coming days, raising concerns about rough sea conditions along the Odisha coast. Authorities have issued a precautionary advisory asking fishermen not to venture into the sea till February 20.

According to the India Meteorological Department, favourable atmospheric conditions are developing over the southern Bay of Bengal that could lead to the formation of a low-pressure system. Under its influence, wind speed over the sea is expected to increase significantly, making marine activities risky.

The warning has been issued particularly for fishermen operating along the Odisha coast and adjoining areas of the Bay of Bengal. Rough sea conditions, high waves, and gusty winds are likely once the system intensifies. Authorities have stressed that fishing boats already in deep sea areas should return to the coast at the earliest.

State disaster management officials are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with district administrations in coastal regions to ensure preparedness. Fishermen have been urged to strictly follow official advisories to avoid any untoward incidents.

While the system’s intensity will be closely observed over the next 48 hours, weather experts have indicated that cloudy skies and light to moderate rainfall may occur in some coastal districts depending on the system’s movement.

Residents along the coastline are advised to stay updated with official bulletins and avoid spreading unverified information.
