• According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the system is currently classified as a Deep Depression with maximum sustained winds of 55–65 km/h, gusting to 75 km/h. Its central pressure is recorded at 993 hPa. The system is moving northwestward at 5 km/h and is expected to weaken progressively as it moves inland. Heavy rainfall and squally winds are being reported in coastal Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and surrounding areas. The IMD has issued warnings for extremely heavy rainfall in some regions and rough sea conditions in the Bay of Bengal.

Impact & Risks

The primary risks include heavy rainfall leading to localised flooding and landslides, particularly in hilly areas. Coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha are experiencing squally winds, which may cause uprooted trees, damage to plantations, and partial damage to vulnerable structures. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the Bay of Bengal due to rough to very rough sea conditions. Interior regions such as Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Odisha are also under warnings for heavy rainfall, which could disrupt daily activities and damage standing crops.
