Odisha is expected to undergo another wet spell beginning Thursday, thanks to a new low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a cyclonic circulation is currently active over south Odisha, north Chhattisgarh, and north Andhra Pradesh, and it will progressively move away from Odisha, resulting in lower rainfall activity in the state. However, a new low-pressure region is predicted to emerge over the Bay of Bengal on Wednesday or Thursday.
The fresh low-pressure area (LoPAR) is likely to condense and precipitate. As a result, there is concern that the impact of rain will increase again beginning Thursday. The weather bureau predicted heavy rains in Odisha for three days beginning Monday. The rainfall activity will increase from Thursday. Heavy rainfall may occur in several places in Deogarh, Sambalpur, Angul, Dhenkanal, Nayagarh, Khurda, Cuttack, and Puri districts on Thursday.
On the other hand, mixed weather was reported in various sections of the state on Sunday. During the day, the weather was dry in some spots and rainy in others. The state received an average of 20 millimeters of rain in the last 24 hours.
The state received 824.9 mm of rain beginning June 1. As of now, the state is having a 10% rainfall shortfall. So far, one district has received more than normal rainfall, 20 districts have received normal rainfall, and nine districts have received less than normal rainfall, according to the IMD.
