Aug 1: The weather system that affected parts of the Odisha-West Bengal coast has weakened significantly, turning into a well-marked low pressure area over southeast Rajasthan and adjoining regions, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The system, which developed over the northwest Bay of Bengal, travelled inland over the past seven days and brought rainfall activity across several areas before gradually losing intensity.
The IMD said the system had earlier weakened from a deep depression into a depression while moving through southwest Madhya Pradesh, East Rajasthan, and Gujarat regions. It later transformed into a well-marked low pressure area over southeast Rajasthan and nearby areas.
The weather system is expected to continue moving west-northwestwards across south Rajasthan and weaken further into a low pressure area within the next 24 hours.
As the system loses strength, rainfall activity associated with it is likely to reduce gradually. Weather authorities continue to monitor developments and have advised people to remain alert to local weather updates.
