A low-pressure area forming over the Southeast Bay of Bengal around November 14 is driving the sudden rains, according to the RMC, Guwahati. This system is likely to move West-Northwestwards and intensify into a depression over the Westcentral Bay of Bengal by November 16.

This system is expected to influence the formation of the Low-Pressure Area over the Southeast Bay of Bengal in the next 24 hours.
