Odisha braces for more heavy rain as Cyclone Arnab weakens; fresh low-Pressure system brewing Over Bay of Bengal

Bhubaneswar, Oct 29 (UNI) Odisha witnessed widespread rainfall, including exceptionally heavy downpours in several southern districts, as the remnants of Very Severe Cyclonic Storm ‘Arnab’ continued to weaken while moving northwards, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday.
The depression, which is the remnant of Cyclone Arnab, moved nearly northwards at a speed of around 23 kmph during the past six hours. It was centred over central parts of Chhattisgarh and adjoining areas of Odisha, about 170 km west of Titlagarh and 270 km west-southwest of Sambalpur, according to the IMD.
The weather system is very likely to continue moving northwards and weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area over north Chhattisgarh and adjoining northwestern Odisha by the evening of October 29.
