• A depression over the northeast Arabian Sea and adjoining south Pakistan moved nearly westwards at a speed of 20 kmph during the past six hours. It lay centred at 0830 hrs IST on September 10, 2025, over the same region near latitude 24.8°N and longitude 65.5°E — about 170 km west of Karachi (Pakistan), 300 km west-southwest of Hyderabad (Pakistan), and 390 km west-northwest of Naliya (Gujarat). It is very likely to continue moving westwards and gradually weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area during the next six hours.

• The monsoon trough at mean sea level now passes through the depression over northeast Arabian Sea and adjoining south Pakistan, Bhuj, Banasthali, Agra, Barabanki, Varanasi, Daltonganj, Ranchi, Digha, and southeastwards into the east-central Bay of Bengal.
