According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the system is gradually moving west-northwest. It is expected to strengthen into a depression by Saturday (26th) and further develop into a cyclonic storm by October 27 over the southwest and west-central Bay of Bengal. If it intensifies into a cyclone, it will be named ‘Montha’, a name suggested by Thailand.
