Several areas in Odisha are expected to receive heavy rain on Thursday as a result of an active cyclonic storm in the northwest Bay of Bengal. A low-pressure system emerged on the northwest coast of Odisha on Thursday as a result of Wednesday’s cyclonic storm, according to the weather service. At a height of 7.6 km in the atmosphere, the related cyclonic storm is active. This low-pressure region is expected to travel through Odisha in the next two days, delivering heavy to very heavy rain in several areas of the state.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) regional center has issued an orange signal for severe to very heavy rainfall in four districts of the state during the next four days. These districts Malkangiri, Koraput, Nabarangpur, Nuapada, Kalahandi and Kandhamal. In addition, a yellow warning has been issued for light to moderate rain in Puri, Khorda, Nayagarh, Ganjam, Gajapati, Rayagada, Cuttack, Boudh, Sonpur, Bolangir, and Bargarh.
Due to excessive rains, hilly places such as Koraput, Nabrangpur, and Kalahandi are at risk of landslides. Water logging in low-lying places, intermittent poor visibility, and traffic interruption in urban areas are all possibilities.
The weather at sea is predicted to continue rough due to the active cyclonic storm, with strong winds blowing at 40 to 50 km/h around the Odisha coastline. Fishermen have been barred from entering into the sea until July 22 as a preventative measure.
