New Low Pressure System Expected to Bring Rain Across Odisha

The regional meteorological department has detected a low pressure system forming over the Bay of Bengal that is likely to move towards Odisha within the next 48 hours. Forecast models suggest the system will generate moderate to heavy rainfall across both coastal districts and interior regions of the state. Meteorologists also anticipate occasional thunderstorms and gusty winds as the system intensifies. Authorities have advised farmers to be prepared for possible water‑logging in low‑lying fields and have urged commuters to drive cautiously, especially on highways prone to slick conditions. The department will continue to monitor the system and issue updates as more data become available.
