According to India Meteorological Department (IMD), the cyclonic storm over northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal moved north-northeastwards with a speed of 18 kmph during past few hours.

It weakened into a depression and lay centred over northwest Bay of Bengal close to Odisha coast about 50 km southeast of Puri (Odisha), 100 km south-southwest of Paradip (Odisha), 130 km east-northeast of Gopalpur (Odisha) and 370 km north-northeast of Vishakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh).
