New Delhi (NVI): Cyclone Nisarga, which has weakened into a low-pressure area, is likely to enter Madhya Pradesh by this evening from the southern parts of the state, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD) predictions.

There is a slight reduction in the wind speed of Cyclone Nisarga, which is now around 90-100 kmph.

The cyclone has weakened into a cyclonic storm before entering Madhya Pradesh and is likely to lose its intensity further, according to weather reports.

The National Weather Forecasting Centre states that Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are likely to witness light to moderate rainfall at most places with heavy to very heavy falls at isolated places during the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, IMD also stated that a low-pressure area is likely to develop over eastern parts of west-central Bay of Bengal around June 8. Due to this low-pressure area, Odisha is likely to witness heavy rainfall from June 10.

Mumbai has been witnessing heavy rains since today morning that has led to water-logging in some parts of the city.

Nisarga, which made landfall in Raigad district’s Alibaug yesterday and weakened into a tropical depression overnight, claimed at least four lives in Maharashtra.
