Deep Depression Crosses Myanmar Coast -Weakens Rapidly: No Threat To East Coast

Key Takeaways:

• The deep depression has weakened into a depression after crossing the Myanmar Coast and moving inland.
• The system is expected to weaken further into a low-pressure area within the next 6-8 hours.
• Remnants may reach Northeast India, bringing scattered rain and thundershowers to Tripura and Mizoram around mid-week.
• The system is unlikely to disrupt monsoon withdrawal and may help the retreat process resume soon.
• Forecast Validity: Until Next Update.

Yesterday’s depression over the Northeast Bay of Bengal and Myanmar Coast had intensified into a deep depression. The system crossed the Myanmar Coast through the Irrawaddy Delta, also called Ayeyarwady, next to the Gulf of Martaban. As expected, due to land interaction, the low-level cyclonic circulation of the system started deteriorating rapidly. The sharp features of the circulation noticed earlier continued pushing inland and fading gradually.

The weather system has already weakened into a depression. It is centred deep inland to the northeast of Yangon. It is no longer a suspect for any significant development. Rather, it is expected to weaken into a low-pressure area in the next 6-8 hours. It will continue to move towards Bangladesh and the border areas of Myanmar. Later, the remnants of the system may reach the southeastern region of Northeast India. Tripura and Mizoram may find scattered rain and thundershowers around mid-week.

As the depression draws further away from the East Coast and weakens too, there is no chance of any significant weather over the coastline. Yes, shallow clouds and light rainfall will persist for about the next three days. As the low pressure will move at a safe distance from mainland India, it will not affect the process of monsoon withdrawal from the western and central parts of the country. Instead, it may now help the retreat commence very soon.

Back-to-back weather systems over the Bay of Bengal during the last ten days may be taken as a precursor for more cyclonic activity over the Indian Seas, as the post-monsoon season starts shortly.
