Cyclone Vayu has weakened into a “depression” and is likely to weaken further into a “well-marked low-pressure area” before crossing the north Gujarat coast, a senior Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) official said Monday. The official added that the cyclone no longer posed a danger and would cause rainfall, and winds with a speed of 30-40 kilometres per hour.
“The cyclone has weakened and turned into depression, which is going to further weaken and convert into a well-marked low-pressure area before it crosses the Gujarat coast,” Manorama Mohanty, scientist with IMD at Ahmedabad, said.
