New Delhi, May 1, 2020: Moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by squally wind are expected to lash Andaman and Nicobar islands in early May.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday said a low pressure system is likely to form over south Andaman Sea during the next two days.

“There is an anticyclone present close to the south Andaman Sea that could prevent the low pressure system from further intensifying,” said Anupam Kashyapi, head, weather department at IMD, Pune.

However, Met officials said the system will be closely monitored in the coming two to three days.

Meanwhile, heavy rain and associated thunderstorm activity will lash parts of Kerala, Mahe, Goa, north interior Karnataka and Maharashtra, IMD said
