The regional centre of the India Meteorological Department in Bhubaneswar has issued a warning for heavy rainfall in multiple districts of Odisha over the next three days. This announcement was made on Wednesday, providing valuable information for the citizens of the state.
According to the centre, the districts of Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Sundargarh, Deogarh, Sambalpur, and Jharsuguda are expected to receive 7 to 11 cm of rainfall on Thursday and Friday. As a precautionary measure, a Yellow Warning has been issued for these areas. The weather officials have also extended the heavy rainfall warnings to the districts of Sundargarh, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, and Bargarh for Saturday.
The reason for this sudden increase in rainfall is attributed to consecutive low-pressure areas and active monsoon conditions. This has resulted in moderate to heavy rainfall in the state. From June 1 to August 14, Odisha has received an average of 648.3 mm of rainfall, which is lower than the normal average of 724.8 mm. However, some districts such as Malkangiri, Boudh, and Nuapada have experienced excess rainfall during this period. On the other hand, 16 districts have received normal rainfall, while 11 districts are categorized as deficient, as reported by the weather agency.
The people of Odisha are advised to take necessary precautions and stay safe during this period of heavy rainfall. It is important to be aware of the weather conditions and follow the instructions provided by the authorities. Let us all hope for the safety and well-being of the citizens of Odisha during this time.
