A deep depression over southern Odisha has weakened, prompting the meteorological department to issue a red weather warning for the districts of Nabarangpur, Kalahandi and Koraput.
The India Meteorological Department reported that a deep depression that had been lingering over the southern part of Odisha is now losing intensity as it moves inland. Satellite imagery shows the system's cloud cover thinning, although residual moisture remains over the region.
Despite the weakening trend, the IMD has classified the weather threat for Nabarangpur, Kalahandi and Koraput districts as red, the highest alert level. Residents can expect heavy to very heavy rainfall, gusty winds and the possibility of localized flooding in low‑lying areas.
Authorities in the three districts have been instructed to activate emergency response teams, clear drainage channels and keep relief shelters ready. The department will continue to monitor the system and update warnings as needed, urging the public to stay informed and avoid unnecessary travel during the peak of the expected downpour.
