Weather: Monsoon To Cover Rain-Deficit Northeast; Biparjoy Reaches Peak Intensity, Coastal Gujarat To Witness Heavy Rains

Low pressure over the east Central Bay of Bengal has intensified into a well-mark low and subsequently into a depression. The weather system has moved over the Northeast Bay of Bengal. This depression will help in pulling the monsoon currents over Northeast India.
