The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday said the depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal and the adjoining south Andaman Sea will intensify further into a deep depression during the next 24 hours.
Significant rainfall and thundershowers were received at a few places over Andaman and Nicobar Islands on Friday as the low pressure area continued to persist near it even as the system moved northwards and was set to form Cyclone Asani on March 21.
