Bhubaneswar: Amid the ebbing intensity of rain, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday predicted thundershower at several places in Odisha during the next few days.
Heavy rain alert has been issued for one or two places in Mayurbhanj, Jajpur, Bhadrak, Balasore, and Kendrapada only till 8.30 am on September 15. Intense spells of rain will resume again on September 18 under the influence of a cyclonic circulation, which is likely to form over the north Bay of Bengal during that period, after a brief lull when Odisha may witness light to moderate rain and thunderstorm, the MeT office said in its midday bulletin.
