Bhubaneswar: There is no end to rainfall woes in Odisha. A low pressure area over Bay of Bengal will trigger heavy rainfall in the coastal districts of Odisha in the next 36 hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday morning.

According to an IMD release, a cyclonic circulation lay over the Myanmar coast and adjoining Gulf of Martaban. It is likely to move towards the north-west and emerge into the north-east and adjoining east-central Bay of Bengal. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the same region around Friday evening (September 24). It will likely move in the west-north-west direction towards the Odisha coast during the subsequent 36 hours, the IMD added.

Going by the modular study, there will be sporadic and scattered rainfall with thunderstorm and lightning at one or two places in the state on Thursday (September 23) till Friday afternoon.

Another spell will begin from Friday evening (September 24) and gradually increase from Saturday morning (September 25). There will be heavy rainfall over Odisha’s north and south coastal districts and it continue till Sunday (September 26), IMD said.

In view of the heavy rainfall, the weather agency has issued yellow warnings (heavy rainfall) for two days.

Thursday (September 25)
Heavy rainfall at one or two places over the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Kendrapada and  Jagatsinghpur.

Thunderstorm with lightning at one or two places over the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Khurda, Nayagarh, Ganjam, Gajapati, Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj.

Friday (September 26)
Heavy rainfall at one or two places over the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Khurda, Puri, Nayagarh and Ganjam.

Thunderstorm with lightning at one or two places over the districts of Nuapada, Kalahandi, Balangir, Nabarangpur, Rayagada, Malkangiri, Koraput, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj and Gajapati.

The IMD further said that due to the formation of a low-pressure area, fishermen are advised not to venture into the deep sea areas of north Bay of Bengal and adjoining central Bay of Bengal on September 25 and 26 as squally weather with surface wind speed reaching 40-50 kmph gusting up to 60 kmph will make the condition very rough.
