The severe cyclonic storm Remal has weakened into a deep land depression as it travelled north.

The storm moved northwards from Khulna’s Koyra before weakening into a cyclonic storm and then weakening even further over Jashore and the adjoining area, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department said in a special bulletin around 10:30am on Monday.

Meteorologists expect it to move further northeast and gradually weaken into a land depression through precipitation.
