The depression over Chhattisgarh moved northwestward and weakened into a low-pressure area, now marked over Northeast Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Southeast Uttar Pradesh. The cyclonic circulation of the system extends beyond 20,000 feet in height. The system will weaken further and merge with the monsoon trough. Heavy rain and thundershowers are likely around the east-west-oriented axis of the trough passing through the border areas of East Uttar Pradesh and Northeast Madhya Pradesh.
