A depression has formed over the Bay of Bengal and is expected to bring rain and thunderstorms across several regions of Myanmar, according to a noon bulletin issued on November 15 by the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH). Located roughly 490 nautical miles southwest of Coco Island, the system is currently not moving toward Myanmar and has been placed under a Yellow-level alert. However, the DMH forecasts it will track north-northwest and intensify into a cyclonic storm by November 16, before strengthening into a severe cyclonic storm by November 17.
