Cyclone Arnab has significantly weakened, transitioning into a depression over the regions of south Chhattisgarh and adjoining south Odisha. This development indicates a substantial reduction in the storm's intensity as it moves over the landmass.
The meteorological shift suggests that the system is losing its cyclonic characteristics due to friction with the terrain and changes in atmospheric conditions. Authorities in the affected districts of both states are monitoring the situation closely to assess any residual weather impacts.
While the primary threat of high winds and heavy rainfall associated with a cyclone has diminished, the depression may still bring localized rain and gusty winds to the area. Residents in south Chhattisgarh and south Odisha are advised to stay updated with the latest weather alerts from official sources.
