"Under the influence of the cyclonic circulation over east central Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood a low pressure area has formed over the same region. Associated cyclonic circulation extends upto mid- tropospheric levels. It is likely to move west northwest wards and become well marked during next 48 hours," the IMD said.
It said that under the influence of this Low Pressure Area, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall accompanied with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over Odisha, north Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during June 9-10, and over central India during June 11 to 13.
"Due to strengthening of southwesterly flow, isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely along the west coast of India during 10-13 June," it added.
