Bhubaneswar: With a low-pressure area most likely to form over north Bay of Bengal on June 11, the rainfall activity in Odisha will begin in the next 48 hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Sunday.
The national weather agency further said the low pressure will push the southwest monsoon into most parts of Odisha, which will trigger heavy to very heavy rainfall over the south and north coastal districts from June 10.
