    What's the story

    Andaman and Nicobar Islands are likely to receive heavy rainfall from March 31 to April 2 due to a low-pressure area, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday.

    It said under the influence of a cyclonic circulation over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining south Andaman Sea, a low-pressure area has been formed over the same region.

    Information

    Widespread rainfall with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds likely

    The formation of cyclonic circulations in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea is a common phenomenon in the pre-monsoon days. Under its influence, widespread rainfall with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty wind is likely over Andaman and Nicobar Islands during the next four days.

    "Isolated heavy to very heavy falls are also likely over Andaman and Nicobar Islands during March 31 to April 1," the IMD said.
