“Very heavy rain is likely to occur in Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada, Gajapati, Nabarangpur, Nuapada, Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Ganjam due to a cyclonic circulation over northwest Bay of Bengal,” the Met office said on Sunday.
Besides, another system is likely to form on September 1 and seems to be stationary up to September 5. This may lead to heavy rainfall in North Odisha river catchments between September 2 and September 5, it said.
Strong and gusty surface wind speed reaching 35-45 kmph likely to prevail along and off Odisha coast. Fishermen have been advised to practice cautious while venturing into the sea.
