Cyclonic storm Asani weakens into depression, heavy rainfall in parts of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal - Though the cyclonic storm has weakened into a depression, Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority has advised people to remain alert.
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.
