Meteorological agencies report that heavy rainfall, high waves and rough sea conditions continue to affect the Odisha coastline.
The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a sea alert for the Odisha coastline, noting that heavy rain showers are persisting across the region. Wave heights have risen significantly, creating rough sea conditions that are expected to last through the next 24 hours.
Fishermen and small vessels operating near the coast have been advised to remain in safe harbors until conditions improve. Coastal ports have temporarily halted loading and unloading activities to ensure safety of personnel and cargo.
Officials warn that the combination of high tides, strong winds and ongoing precipitation could lead to localized flooding in low‑lying coastal areas. Residents are urged to stay updated with official bulletins and avoid unnecessary travel along the shoreline until the alert is lifted.
