Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted the formation of two low-pressure systems in the coming days, one over the Arabian Sea and the other over the Bay of Bengal.
According to the IMD, a low-pressure system is expected to form over the Arabian Sea on May 21, near the Karnataka coast. This system is likely to intensify into a depression by May 22 and may further develop into a cyclonic storm.
Meanwhile, another low-pressure system is expected to form around May 27 in the eastern central Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas. This system may also intensify into a low-pressure system in the subsequent days.
According to a weather scientist, the trajectory and intensity of the potential cyclone will become clearer after May 26, allowing for more accurate predictions.
In Odisha, the weather is expected to remain hot and humid, with temperatures ranging between 38°C to 39°C. The state is likely to experience thunderstorms, known as Kalbaishakhi, until May 23 due to the influence of a trough line from Punjab to northern Bangladesh. Residents can expect rain and wind in various parts of the state during this period.
The IMD has advised people to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and warnings.
