Meteorologists have issued an extreme rainfall warning for a district in southern Odisha as a deep depression intensifies over the Bay of Bengal.
A deep low‑pressure system has moved over the Bay of Bengal, deepening into a depression that is expected to bring heavy precipitation to the Indian subcontinent. The system is currently centered off the coast of Odisha, with its outer bands reaching the state's southern districts.
Weather agencies have raised an extreme rainfall alert for a district in southern Odisha, warning that the region could experience intense downpours within the next 24‑48 hours. The alert advises residents to stay prepared for sudden flooding, waterlogging and possible disruption to transport and power services.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have urged people to follow official advisories, avoid low‑lying areas, and keep emergency kits ready. Updates will be provided as the depression evolves and moves further inland or along the coastline.
