According to the Meteorological Centre of Bhubaneswar, squally weather with wind speeds reaching 40-50 kmph, gusting up to 60 kmph is very likely to prevail along and off the Odisha coast on these two days. Sea conditions are expected to become rough to very rough during this period.
Fishermen have been strictly advised not to venture into the sea along and off the Odisha coast on July 3 and July 4 due to the unfavourable weather and sea conditions.
