Cyclone Arnab has weakened over the Bay of Bengal, with meteorological agencies noting a new low‑pressure system forming nearby.
Cyclone Arnab, which had been tracking across the Bay of Bengal, has shown signs of weakening according to the India Meteorological Department. The cyclone’s sustained winds have dropped, and it has been downgraded from a severe cyclonic storm to a cyclonic storm. Meanwhile, a fresh low‑pressure system has been identified in the same region, raising concerns that it could intensify into a new tropical disturbance. Meteorologists are monitoring both systems closely as they move westward, but there is no immediate threat to the Indian coastline at present.
