The India Meteorological Department has issued a warning of extremely heavy rainfall for the state of Odisha today.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has released a forecast indicating that Odisha will experience extremely heavy rainfall today. Meteorologists say the downpour is expected to be widespread, affecting both coastal districts and interior regions.
Authorities have been alerted to the possibility of flash floods and waterlogging in low‑lying areas. Local disaster management teams are on standby, and residents have been advised to stay indoors, avoid travel on vulnerable roads, and keep emergency kits ready.
The IMD has urged the public to monitor updates on official channels and heed any instructions from state officials, as heavy rain can quickly turn into hazardous conditions in the monsoon‑prone state.
