According to sources at the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), a low-pressure area has recently formed over the northwest area of the Bay of Bengal near the coast of south Odisha. In addition, they predict that another low-pressure area will develop in the west central and adjoining northwest regions of the Bay of Bengal by July 19.
Due to this weather phenomenon, the IMD has issued a warning for strong winds and squally conditions with speeds reaching 40 to 50 kmph over the northwest and west-central areas of the Bay of Bengal, specifically near the coast of south Odisha. This is expected to occur from July 15 to July 16.
In the next five days, the IMD forecasts light to moderate rain or thundershowers in most areas of south Odisha and heavy rain in many areas of north Odisha. As a precautionary measure, fishermen are advised to avoid venturing into the sea off the south Odisha coast and the northwest and west-central areas of the Bay of Bengal during July 15 and 16.
There are also predictions of heavy to very heavy rainfall in some districts of Odisha, including Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, and Rayagada, while other districts such as Ganjam, Gajapati, Kandhamal, and Kalahandi are expected to experience heavy rainfall. The IMD has issued yellow warnings for these districts until July 20, as they are likely to be affected by the low-pressure area.
In summary, the IMD has alerted the public to the formation of a low-pressure area in the northwest Bay of Bengal and the potential risks it may bring, including strong winds, squally weather, and heavy rainfall. They advise people to stay safe and take necessary precautions during this period.
