Several parts of Odisha and West Bengal are bracing for heavy rain as severe cyclone Asani weakened to a cyclonic storm yesterday.
The severe cyclonic storm 'Asani' "will recurve north-northeast away from the coast. So, only under its impact, we have predicted heavy to very heavy isolated rainfall," said IMD's senior scientist said.
“It is very likely to move northwestwards and intensify further into a severe cyclonic storm over east central Bay of Bengal during next 24 hours,” IMD said.
Low pressure has converted into a depression located almost 1,300 km from southeast of Puri moving in northwest direction and will be a depression by May 10, said official.
The low-pressure area over the South Andaman Sea and neighbouring South-East Bay of Bengal will intensity into a cyclonic storm around May 8, informed the Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar.
