Light to moderate rain/thundershower is likely at one or two places in Malkangiri, Koraput, Nabarangpur, Nuapada, Kalahandi, Bolangir, Bargarh, Jharsuguda, Sundargarh, Deogarh, Sambalpur, Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj.
Dry weather may prevail for the next four days, during which there is likely to be no large change in night temperature across the state.
Amid the prediction about likely formation of a cyclonic storm over southwest Bay of Bengal around December 1, light to moderate rain/thundershower may resume at one or two places in coastal Odisha on December 3, it said.
“Under the influence of yesterday’s cyclonic circulation over South Andaman Sea and adjoining south Thailand, a low pressure area formed over south Andaman Sea & adjoining Malacca Strait at 8.30 am today. It is likely to move west-northwestwards and intensify into a depression over southeast Bay of Bengal around November 29. Thereafter, it is likely to move northwestwards and intensify further into a cyclonic storm over southeast Bay of Bengal during subsequent 48 hours,” it added.
If the system intensify into a cyclone, it will be called Michaung, a name suggested by Myanmar. It will be the sixth such event forming in the Indian Ocean this year, compared to the customary four cyclones that occur in most years, and the fourth in the Bay of Bengal.
While the weather agency is yet to make prediction about it likely movement and landfall, IMD GF indicates that the storm may cross North Andhra Pradesh-South Odisha coasts on December 5 as a very severe cyclonic storm.
