The IMD warned of a new weather system brewing in the Bay of Bengal. A low-pressure area lying over the South Andaman Sea and adjoining regions is intensifying today.

“It is very likely to concentrate into a Depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands and the Andaman Sea around 31 October,” the Met Dept said in its official release.

Following this development, the system is expected to move westward and then northward toward the Andhra Pradesh coast over the next two days.

Meanwhile, yesterday's well-marked low-pressure area-the remnant of Cyclone Arnab-has weakened and currently lies over north Chhattisgarh and adjoining East Madhya Pradesh.

West Bengal shifted 12,000 people living along the Sankosh in Alipurduar district to safety, while Assam closely monitored the situation in vulnerable areas of Dhubri and Kokrajhar districts after the river's water level rose following a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in adjoining Bhutan, officials said.

Water level in the Sankosh, which forms the inter-state boundary between Assam and West Bengal, rose by nearly two feet since this morning after a glacial lake in Bhutan's Gasa region burst its banks on Thursday evening.

The incident triggered flood alerts in parts of north Bengal and Assam, with authorities keeping a close watch on the water levels of rivers flowing down from the Himalayan kingdom.
