Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday said that a low-pressure area is likely to develop over the Bay of Bengal within the next 24 hours and it may intensify into a depression by November 16. Consequently, some areas in coastal regions of Odisha may experience light to moderate rain or thundershowers in the next 48 hours.
According to the IMD, the weather will mainly remain cloudy in south coastal Odisha with light to moderate rain at some places, including Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur, and Kendrapada on November 15. The intensity of rain is likely to increase on November 16 in 10 districts of interior and coastal Odisha. The weather will remain cloudy on November 17 and 18 and there is a possibility of heavy rain in some places.
Subsequently, cold and dry winds entering the state from the northwest are likely to further decrease the minimum temperatures (night temperatures) by 2°C-3°C across the state. However, it is likely to be hot and humid during the daytime owing to the cloudless sky and lack of water vapor in the atmosphere.
