The low-pressure system near Malaysia and the Strait of Malacca in the Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a depression over the South Andaman Sea within the next 24 hours. According to the India Meteorological Department, heavy rain, strong winds and rough sea conditions are expected in the region. “Avoid sea travel, secure essentials, follow official updates and move to safe shelters if required,” the IMD said in a weather warning.
