The low pressure area may move North-North-West parallel to the West Coast and intensify further into a cyclone by Sunday Heavy to very heavy rain battered Kerala during the 24 hours ending on Wednesday even ahead of the formation of a low-pressure area over the South-East Arabian Sea, not too far away from its coast, which India Meteorological Department (IMD) expects will become a cyclone by the weekend.
The low-pressure area is expected to concentrate into a depression over the Lakshadweep area and adjoining South-East and East-Central Arabian Sea by Saturday. It may move North-North-West (almost parallel to the West Coast) and intensify further into a cyclone by Sunday and strengthen even further.
