Depression in Bay of Bengal expected to bring heavy rainfall to Odisha, according to IMD forecast.

Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha, was recently informed by the India Meteorological Department that the well-marked low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal has transformed into a depression. According to their bulletin, the depression was located approximately 310 km east of Kalingapatnam, 260 km east-southeast of Gopalpur, 290 km south-southeast of Paradip, and 410 km south of Digha. It is expected to continue moving towards the north Odisha-West Bengal coasts and is likely to intensify into a deep depression in the next 24 hours. After that, it is predicted to make its way across north Odisha-Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, and adjoining north Chhattisgarh over the next two days.

In light of this weather system, the IMD has issued an 'Orange' warning for heavy to very heavy rain in one or two places over Ganjam, Gajapati, Rayagada, Malkangiri, and Koraput districts of Odisha for Sunday. A 'Yellow' warning for heavy rain has also been put in place for one or two places in Kendrapara, Khurda, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Cuttack, Nayagarh, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, and Nabarangpur districts for the same day. The forecast for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday also predicts rain in most parts of the state.

The IMD further stated that due to the potential depression, squally weather with strong surface wind speeds reaching 40-50 kmph gusting to 60 kmph is likely to prevail over northwest Bay of Bengal, adjoining West Central Bay of Bengal, along and off Odisha coasts during September 8-11. In light of this, fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the sea along and off the Odisha coast, northwest Bay of Bengal, and adjoining West Central Bay of Bengal during this period.

Overall, the situation is being closely monitored by the authorities and necessary precautions are being taken to ensure the safety of the citizens. It is important for everyone to stay informed and follow the necessary safety measures during this time. Let us hope for the best and stay prepared for any potential impact from the weather.
