At times the situation has worsened due to disturbances in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Heavy rains have wreaked havoc in states like Gujarat, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana. Events related to flooding and water caused widespread damage. Now again the mood of the Bay of Bengal is changing. A depression has formed, which is likely to cross the coast of West Bengal and Odisha on Monday evening (September 9, 2024).
