The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) indicated in its special day bulletin on Wednesday that the low-pressure region over the Northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal off the shores of south Odisha and north Andhra Pradesh has diminished. However, due to the active monsoon, rain is expected to fall over much of the peninsular central and neighbouring East India, including numerous districts in Odisha, over the next 3-4 days.
