Bhubaneswar: The Deep Depression over northwest Bay of Bengal is expected to cross Odisha coast near Puri during the next 3 hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) informed in its 11 am bulletin on Monday.

“The Deep Depression over northwest and adjoining westcentral Bay of Bengal moved nearly north-northwestwards with a speed of 10 kmph during past 6 hours and lay centered at 8.30 am over northwest Bay of Bengal, about 50 km east-southeast of Puri (Odisha), 90 km southwest of Paradip (Odisha), 140 km east-northeast of Gopalpur (Odisha), 140 km south-southwest of Chandbali (Odisha), 260 km east-northeast of Kalingapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and 260 km south-southwest of Digha (West Bengal),” the weather agency said.

It further stated that the system is likely to move nearly northwestwards and cross Odisha coast near Puri during the next 3 hours. “Continuing to move further northwestwards across Odisha, it is likely to maintain its intensity of Deep Depression till evening and weaken gradually into a Depression by midnight. Thereafter, it is likely to move westnorthwestwards across Chhattisgarh during subsequent 24 hours,” it added.

Under its influence, Odisha is likely to experience extremely heavy rainfall during the next 24 hours. Red warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall (7 to 20cm) at a few places with isolated extremely heavy rainfall (>20cm) has been sounded for Ganjam, Kandhamal, Nayagarh, Khurda, Balangir, Boudh and Puri till 8,30 am on Tuesday.

WIND WARNING

The IMD said that squally weather with wind speed reaching 55-65 kmph gusting to 75 kmph, prevailing over northwest and adjoining northeast & central Bay of Bengal and along & off Odisha coast, is likely to continue till noon. “It is likely to decrease, gradually becoming 45-55 kmph gusting to 65 kmph by evening.

Similarly, Squally weather with wind speed is likely to become 55-65 kmph gusting to 75 kmph by noon and decrease gradually thereafter becoming 45-55 kmph gusting to 65 Kmph by evening.
