A weather system over the Bay of Bengal could intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by 18 November 2026, with a possible approach towards the north coastal Andhra Pradesh region around 19-20 November.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy-rainfall alert for the region. Forecasts are subject to revision as the system develops, and the exact landfall area and timing may change.

## What is expected

The system is currently a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. It is expected to strengthen over the next two days, and coastal Andhra Pradesh should prepare for heavy rain and strong winds around 19-20 November.

Fishermen and coastal residents have been advised to follow IMD updates and local administration advisories. People in coastal districts should keep track of the official forecast as the storm’s path becomes clearer.
