Heavy rain expected in Odisha for next 3 days, districts put on alert by IMD.

The city of Bhubaneswar is bracing for some intense weather in the coming days. According to the experts at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected in various parts of Odisha as a low-pressure area over Jharkhand is making its way westward and gaining strength. The Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) has issued a high alert for all districts, urging them to be prepared for potential impacts.

The IMD reports that this system will continue its westward movement and is likely to intensify into a depression over west Madhya Pradesh by August 26. It is then expected to advance towards south Rajasthan and adjacent north Gujarat by August 27. Additionally, a new low-pressure area is also predicted to form in the north Bay of Bengal within the next 48 hours, according to the IMD's evening bulletin.

The forecast predicts heavy to very heavy rainfall in many areas of Odisha until August 26. In preparation, the IMD has issued an orange warning for Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Angul, Dhenkanal, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Jajpur, and Kendrapada districts on Sunday, anticipating heavy to very heavy rain in one or two places. Similarly, a yellow warning has been issued for Balasore, Bhadrak, Puri, Khurda, Nayagarh, Kandhamal, Balangir, Nuapada, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Boudh, Deogarh, Bargarh, Sonepur, Sundargarh, Jharsuguda, and Sambalpur districts, also expecting heavy rain in one or two locations.

The forecast for Sunday night to Monday morning includes another orange warning for heavy to very heavy rain in Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar districts, and a yellow warning for Balasore, Bhadrak, Kendrapada, Jagatsinghpur, Cuttack, Jajpur, Dhenkanal, Angul, Malkangiri, Koraput, Sundargarh, and Jharsuguda districts. The warning for August 26 remains the same with a yellow warning for heavy rain in Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar districts.
