The Department of Meteorology has forecasted that October may witness the formation of one to three low-pressure systems in the Bay of Bengal, with the potential for one to intensify into a depression or cyclone. Normal rainfall is expected across most parts of the country, though temperatures may remain slightly above average. The forecast predicts two to four days of moderate to heavy thunderstorms and three to five days of light to moderate thunderstorms. Rivers are likely to maintain normal flow, but heavy rains could trigger short-term flooding in northern, northeastern, and southeastern hill regions. Daily evaporation is estimated between 2.25 and 4.25 millimeters, with 5 to 7 hours of bright sunshine on average, signaling typical seasonal weather patterns alongside possible extreme events.
At least three low-pressure systems may form in the Bay of Bengal in October, one of which could develop into a depression or a cyclone. This information was recently shared by the Department of Meteorology in its long-term weather forecast for October.
