A well-marked low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal intensified into a depression on Saturday, October 25, and is expected to strengthen into a cyclonic storm named Montha by Monday, October 27, according to the IMD. Currently located around 990 km east-southeast of Chennai, the system will move west-northwestwards, turning into a deep depression by Sunday before evolving into a cyclone over the southwest Bay of Bengal. Once formed, Montha may make landfall between Machilipatnam and Visakhapatnam around October 28–29. The IMD has issued Orange Alerts for Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal, warning of heavy rainfall, strong winds (70–100 km/h), and possible flooding.
