Cyclone Murasu has weakened to a deep depression and is expected to become a low‑pressure area within the next 12 hours, the Indian Meteorological Department said, adding that more rainfall is likely over Andhra Pradesh.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that Cyclone Murasu has weakened to a deep depression after a period of intense activity. The system is projected to transform into a low‑pressure area within the next 12 hours, indicating a significant reduction in wind speeds and storm intensity.
Despite the weakening, the IMD warned that the cyclone will continue to bring heavy rainfall to the coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh. Meteorologists expect sustained showers and possible localized flooding as the low‑pressure system moves inland.
Local authorities in Andhra Pradesh have urged residents in affected districts to remain vigilant, keep emergency kits ready, and follow official advisories. The weather bureau has released updated forecasts to help communities prepare for the impending rainfall.
The weakening of Murasu underscores the dynamic nature of tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal, and the importance of continuous monitoring by the IMD.
