Bay of Bengal low-pressure to bring 40-50km/h coastal winds
India
A new low-pressure area has formed over the Bay of Bengal, thanks to an upper-air cyclonic circulation, and it's heading northwest.
The Andhra Pradesh weather department says this will bring wind speeds reaching 40-50km/h and gusting to 60km/h along the coasts of Odisha, West Bengal, north coastal Andhra Pradesh, and adjoining Bangladesh from August 16 to 18.
