After a brief respite, numerous regions in coastal and south Odisha are expected to receive rain for two days beginning Tuesday, thanks to a low pressure system established in the west-central Bay of Bengal.
According to the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) regional center in Bhubaneswar, light to moderate rainfall is expected on Tuesday in Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada, Gajapati, Kandhamal, Nayagarh, Ganjam, Khurdha, Puri, Dhenkanal, Cuttack, Jajpur, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak, and Balasore.
On Wednesday, light to moderate rain is expected in Gajapati, Ganjam, Nayagarh, Khurdha, Cuttack, Puri, Jajpur, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Bhadrak, and Balasore.
The IMD has issued a yellow rain warning for Gajapati, Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, and Koraput districts on Tuesday.
Last week’s incessant rains caused considerable agricultural damage throughout the state. Unseasonal rains have ruined the harvested paddy that is still lying in the fields. The Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) has directed all District Collectors to monitor the weather conditions and take appropriate action. According to the weather service, the night temperature will drop by 2°C to 4°C after Christmas, ushering in a new cold wave in the state.
