Bhubaneswar: The likely formation of a low-pressure area over coastal Bangladesh and neighbourhood and is likely to result in a wet spell over the Odisha region, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said in its afternoon bulletin on Thursday.
An upper air cyclonic circulation lies over southeast Bangladesh and neighbourhood extending up to 7.6 km above mean sea level at 0830 IST on Thursday. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over coastal Bangladesh and neighbourhood during next 24 hours. Thereafter, it is likely to move slowly west-northwestwards and concentrate into a depression over coastal west Bengal and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal during subsequent 48 hours.
Due to the above mentioned system, the state is likely to experience a wet spell during the weekend – from Friday to Sunday.
Due to strong monsoon current, squally weather with gusty surface wind speed reaching 40 to 50 kmph is very likely during the weekend over North Bay of Bengal, along and off Odisha Coast. Fishermen have been advised not to venture into North Bay of Bengal; along & off Odisha coast during this period.
