As Cyclone Arnab weakened while moving inland, a second weather system intensified into a low-pressure area over the South Andaman Sea near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the system was likely to move west-northwest and develop into a well-marked low-pressure area over the Andaman Sea and adjoining regions within 72 hours. However, officials had not forecast whether it would strengthen into another cyclone, and no cyclone warning had been issued. Meanwhile, Arnab weakened into a depression over south Chhattisgarh and adjoining south Odisha on Thursday morning. The remnant system was expected to continue moving north and gradually lose strength. (PC: IMD)
