Bhubaneswar: After two back-to-back cyclones, a fresh low-pressure area likely to form over the Bay of Bengal towards the end of this week, meteorological scientists said on Tuesday.
The new system is likely to trigger fresh rainfall in Odisha after a brief dry spell in the aftermath of two successive cyclones – Arnab and Murasu – that struck the Andhra Pradesh coast within a span of six days.
According to India Meteorological Department, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13. Moving in a north-westerly direction, it is likely to become more marked in the subsequent 24 hours.
While a clear picture about the possible impact of the low-pressure on Odisha is yet to emerge, some parts of the state are likely to witness rainfall.
According to IMD, dry weather is likely to prevail over all the districts of the state over the next 24 hours.
Shallow to moderate fog is likely to occur during morning hours in isolated pockets in the districts of Kataka, Sundaragada, Anugola, Dhenkanal, Subarnapur, Boudh, Kandhamala, Koraput, and Nayagada.
The weather agency further stated that there will be no large change in minimum temperature in the state during the next seven days.
