Meteorological officials have warned of a possible cyclone forming over the Bay of Bengal, likely to impact Odisha's coastal areas towards the end of October.
The Indian Meteorological Department has issued an alert indicating that conditions are favorable for the development of a cyclonic disturbance over the Bay of Bengal. Forecast models suggest that the system could intensify and move towards the Odisha coastline as October draws to a close.
Coastal districts of Odisha are being advised to monitor the situation closely and to prepare for possible heavy rains, strong winds, and storm surges. Local authorities have begun pre‑emptive measures, including readiness of disaster response teams and dissemination of safety guidelines to residents.
While no specific landfall time has been confirmed, officials stress that communities should stay informed through official channels and heed any evacuation orders if issued. The warning follows a period of heightened cyclone activity in the region during the post‑monsoon season.
Residents are urged to secure property, stock essential supplies, and keep communication devices charged. The department will provide updates as the system evolves.
