The atmospheric dynamics over the central coastal Andhra Pradesh region have undergone a significant transformation as the remnants of Cyclone MICHAUNG metamorphosed into a Deep Depression. This article elucidates the latest developments, shedding light on the present conditions, the geographical coordinates, and the anticipated course of this weather system.
Current Status and Location:
As of 0530 hours IST on December 6, 2023, the Deep Depression, a vestige of Cyclone MICHAUNG, is positioned near latitude 17.4°N and longitude 80.5°E. Its current location places it over Northeast Telangana, with significant proximity to south Chhattisgarh, south Interior Odisha, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Specifically, it hovers about 50 km east-northeast of Khammam, 110 km north-northwest of Gannavaram (Vijayawada), and 250 km southwest of Jagdalpur.
Movement and Weakening:
Over the past 06 hours, the system has exhibited a nearly northward trajectory at a speed of 11 kmph. Simultaneously, it has undergone a weakening process, transitioning from a Deep Depression to a Depression. The forecast suggests a continued northward movement, indicating a further attenuation into a Well-Marked Low-Pressure Area within the next 06 hours.
Implications for Regions:
The geographical proximity of the Deep Depression to south Chhattisgarh, south Interior Odisha, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh necessitates a careful examination of potential impacts on these regions. Residents, local authorities, and relevant stakeholders are advised to stay abreast of weather updates and adhere to any advisories issued by meteorological authorities.
To understand the evolving dynamics of the deep depression spawned from the remnants of Cyclone Michang, a comprehensive understanding of its current position, trajectory, and anticipated transformation into a well-marked low-pressure area is critical.
