Low Pressure System Weakens Over Bay of Bengal

According to the India Meteorological Department, the deep depression that formed over the southwest Bay of Bengal has now weakened into a low-pressure area. It is expected to move in a north-easterly direction and may gradually lose further intensity.

Additionally, a lower-level cyclonic circulation prevailing over the southeast Arabian Sea is influencing weather patterns. Due to this system, isolated places in the Western Ghats districts of Tamil Nadu may receive light to moderate rainfall today.
