# Bay of Bengal low pressure likely Nov 13, says IMD 2026-11-10T09:56:29+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a low-pressure area forming over the southeast Bay of Bengal around 13 November, with potential to intensify into a depression by 15 November. The system comes after cyclones Arnab and Murasu struck the Andhra coast, Deccan Chronicle reports, adding that a private weather website Skymet said sea surface heat potential favours the system’s growth. Odishatv reports weather expert Dr Jyoti Prakash Mishra said it was too early to determine intensity, movement or landfall. Odishatv reports Odisha may see a 2 to 3°C drop in minimum temperatures over the next two to four days due to cold dry winds, but if the system brings moisture, temperatures may rise. Odishabytes states no large change in minimum temperature for the next seven days, and that dry weather will prevail over all districts. Deccan Chronicle reports three possible paths for the system: towards Tamil Nadu and south coastal Andhra, recurving away, or heading to the Myanmar coast, with more clarity expected by 12 to 13 November. If it develops, the storm will be named ‘Akvan’. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets provide straight news coverage of the IMD forecast, with no discernible slant. Odishatv emphasises the temperature drop and expert caution, Odishabytes highlights the context of recent cyclones and dry weather, and Deccan Chronicle adds the private forecaster’s view and three possible storm paths. The only factual difference is on temperature: Odishatv reports a 2 to 3°C drop while Odishabytes says no large change over seven days. The balanced reading is that the system remains uncertain, with clarity expected by 12 to 13 November and the storm to be named ‘Akvan’ if it develops. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - odishatv.in (neutral report) Leads with IMD forecast, includes expert caution and temperature dip - odishabytes.com (neutral report) Focuses on post-cyclone context and Odisha rainfall outlook - deccanchronicle.com (neutral report) Adds Skymet input, three scenarios and naming as ‘Akvan’ This brief was synthesised by AI from the 3 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
