Odisha is likely to witness rainfall and thunderstorms under the impact of a low pressure formed over the Bay of Bengal.
Many pockets in the state are reeling under scorching heatwave conditions, though a low pressure formed over the Bay of Bengal on Saturday.
The low pressure which is likely to become more marked over the Bay of Bengal in the next few days is likely to trigger rainfall in several parts of Odisha, bringing people relief from the scorching heat, said sources.
