According to sources at the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), many areas in the state of Odisha can expect heavy rainfall over the next two days. This is due to a low-pressure area that has formed over the northwest Bay of Bengal, just off the coast of northern Odisha. The IMD has also noted that this low-pressure area is a result of a cyclonic circulation in the northwest and adjoining west-central areas of the Bay of Bengal.
As of Friday, Koraput district has already experienced widespread rainfall, with some areas even reporting very heavy rainfall. Other districts that have also been affected by heavy rainfall include Dhenkanal, Malkangiri, Khurda, Rayagada, and Jajpur. In fact, Jeypore in Koraput recorded a significant 12 cm of rainfall, while Nandapur and Bhuban each received 11 cm, and Malkangiri and Bolagarh reported 9 cm and 8 cm respectively.
The IMD has predicted that most areas in the state will continue to experience light to moderate rain or thundershowers over the next two days. However, they have also issued a warning for heavy to very heavy rainfall in isolated places in districts such as Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Rayagada, Nayagarh, Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, and Bhadrak. Additionally, there is a possibility of heavy rainfall in some areas of Khorda, Puri, Balasore, Jajpur, Cuttack, Bolangir, Nuapada, Boudh, Angul, Dhenkanal, Gajapati, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, and Koraput.
Fishermen have been advised to take caution as squally weather with gusty winds reaching speeds of 40 to 50 kmph is expected in the northwest Bay of Bengal off the coast of Odisha until June 30. It is important for everyone living in these areas to stay prepared for the heavy rainfall and potential for strong winds. Let us all hope for the safety and well-being of those in the affected regions.
