Bhubaneswar: Several parts of Odisha are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rain during the next five days under the influence of a fresh low-pressure area forming over the Bay of Bengal.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Sunday said that an east-west trough now runs from Andhra Pradesh coast to south coastal Maynmar with two embedded upper air cyclonic circulations – one over west-central Bay of Bengal and the second over south coastal Myanmar and neighbourhood.
The second upper air cyclonic circulation is likely to move west-northwestwards.
Under the influence of these two upper air cyclonic circulations, a low-pressure area is likely to form over west-central Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood around Monday, the IMD said.
The IMD has issued a yellow warning for thunderstorm with lightning at isolated places in the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Khurda, Nayagarh, Ganjam, Gajapati, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Boudh, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Nabarangpur, Nuapada, Rayagada, Koraput, Angul, Dhenkanal, and Deogarh during the next 24 hours.
