The Economic Times | English | News | Nov. 24, 2025 | Extreme Weather Events

A low-pressure area has developed over the Bay of Bengal and is expected to intensify into a depression around November 24, 2025, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The system is likely to move west-northwestwards and further strengthen over the southwest Bay of Bengal within the next 48 hours. However, it is not yet confirmed whether it will develop into a cyclonic storm.

The IMD has issued warnings for heavy to very heavy rainfall in several regions. Tamil Nadu is expected to experience heavy rainfall from November 22 to 25, Kerala and Mahe from November 22 to 26, Lakshadweep on November 22 and 23, and Rayalaseema on November 22. Thunderstorms with lightning are also predicted in Tamil Nadu, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, and Rayalaseema from November 22 to 24. Coastal Karnataka and Kerala may see heavy rainfall during this period as well.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are on alert with heavy to very heavy rainfall expected between November 22 and 27, peaking on November 24 and 25. Thunderstorms with gusty winds and lightning are likely on November 24 and 25. Squally weather with surface winds reaching speeds of 35-45 kmph and gusts up to 55 kmph is forecast in the Andaman Sea. Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the Andaman Sea until November 23, and a Local Cautionary Signal-3 has been raised at Port Blair Port.

If the system intensifies into a cyclone, it will be named 'Senyar,' a name submitted by the United Arab Emirates. Authorities have also cautioned tourists, locals, and boat operators to exercise vigilance due to the potential for surging waves and rough sea conditions.
