The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a thunderstorm warning for Odisha as a low‑pressure depression moving across the Bay of Bengal weakens.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has observed a low‑pressure depression moving eastward across the Bay of Bengal. Satellite imagery shows the system losing intensity as it approaches the eastern coast of Odisha.
Meteorologists forecast that the weakening depression will still generate strong convection, leading to scattered thunderstorms across the state later today and into tomorrow. The most affected districts are expected to be along the coastal belt, including Puri, Khordha and Jagatsinghpur.
The IMD has issued a thunderstorm warning for the region, advising residents to stay indoors during heavy rain, avoid travel on flooded roads, and secure loose objects. Local authorities have been instructed to activate emergency response teams and keep drainage systems clear.
