The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rainfall warning for Odisha as a fresh low‑pressure system develops over the Bay of Bengal.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has raised a heavy rainfall alert for the state of Odisha after detecting a fresh low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. Meteorologists say the system is intensifying and is expected to move north‑westward towards the coastal belt of the state.
Forecasters predict that the disturbance will bring widespread heavy showers, particularly over the southern and central districts of Odisha, with the possibility of localized flooding and water‑logging in low‑lying areas.
Authorities have urged residents to stay vigilant, avoid non‑essential travel, and secure property against potential water damage. Emergency services are on standby to respond to any flood‑related incidents.
The IMD expects the system to remain active for the next 48‑72 hours before weakening as it moves inland, and will issue further updates as the situation evolves.
