Heavy rain is expected to hit numerous regions of Odisha until September 11, as the well-defined Low-Pressure area over the Bay of Bengal consolidated into a depression on Sunday.
According to an IMD statement, the well-marked low-pressure area over the northwest and central Bay of Bengal concentrated into a depression and was centered over the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal, about 310 km east of Kalingapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), 260 km east-southeast of Gopalpur (Odisha), 290 km south-southeast of Paradip (Odisha), and 410 km south of Digha (West Bengal).
