The deep depression that lay centred over the South-East Bay of Bengal, 110 km east-north of Port Blair, on Monday is likely to weaken into a depression, an India Meteorological Department (IMD) weather outlook has said.
On Monday, the IMD had feared that the deep depression might intensify into a cyclone. It, however, said the onward track would be northwards, along and off the Andaman Islands, towards the Myanmar coast, until Wednesday.
The depression, which was 420 km north-northeast off Port Blair on Tuesday morning, will move northwards, away from Andaman, and cross the Myanmar coast as a deep depression later in the evening, it said.

As a result of this depression, the sea condition would be very rough over the Andaman Sea and the adjoining south-east Bay of Bengal. The IMD warned fishermen from venturing into the east-central Bay of Bengal and North Andaman Sea along and off Myanmar.

Day temperatures may not change until Friday but may fall by 2-3°C thereafterThe IMD has also warned of heat wave conditions in isolated pockets over western Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday. Heat wave conditions are likely to abate over the next 4-5 days, it said.
Fresh western disturbance
Meanwhile, a fresh western disturbance is likely to affect the Himalayan region from Wednesday night onwards, even as a cyclonic circulation lies over central parts of Madhya Maharashtra and the neighbourhood. Similar cyclonic circulations over Haryana and Chhattisgarh have become less marked.
This will result in isolated/scattered rainfall/snowfall over Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Gligit-Baltistan, Muzaffarabad and Himachal Pradesh on Wednesday and Thursday. Rainfall is also likely over Uttarakhand on Thursday.
In the peninsular south, light isolated/scattered rainfall is likely over Kerala, Mahe, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka over the next five days. Isolated thunderstorm/lightning activity is also likely over Kerala, Mahe, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and coastal and south interior Karnataka over the next three days.
In the North-East, moderate scattered/fairly widespread rainfall is likely over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, West Bengal and Sikkim over the next five days. There could be isolated thunderstorm/lightning between Wednesday and Friday over these areas.
The IMD also predicted isolated heavy rainfall in Arunachal Pradesh from today till Friday.
