The India Meteorological Department has warned that heavy rains will affect districts across Odisha through September 4.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather advisory indicating that heavy rainfall will blanket districts throughout Odisha from now until September 4. The forecast covers the entire state, with the agency warning that the intensity of rain could be sustained over several days.
Officials said the prolonged downpour is likely to aggravate the already water‑logged conditions in many parts of the state, where flood relief operations are ongoing. Residents in low‑lying areas have been urged to stay alert and follow any further instructions from local authorities.
The IMD will continue to monitor the system and update the public as the situation evolves, while disaster management teams remain on standby to respond to any emergencies that may arise.
