‘Low Pressure Over Bay Of Bengal Could Influence Onset Of Monsoon In Odisha’

Bhubaneswar: Advancement of southwest monsoon into eastern and southern India could depend on the likelihood of development of low pressure areas over Arabian Sea and eastcentral Bay of Bengal on June 6, Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan’s Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) here said on Tuesday.

“The advancement of southwest monsoon would depend on the intensity and direction of both the low pressure systems. There was possibility of rise of day temperature between June 2 and June 9 and the probability of occurrence of sporadic thunderstorm with rain over Odisha during this period,” said CEC director SC Sahu.

Meanwhile, the existing weather pattern in Odisha with day temperature of less than 42 degrees C in interior parts of the state and below 40 degrees C in the coastal plains would continue up to June 1. Sporadic nor’wester, also known as ‘Kalabaisakhi’, could occur across Odisha because of anticyclone over north Arabian Sea and breeze flowing in from the Bay of Bengal, he added.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also forecast no change in the day temperature for another 5 days with mercury soaring to 42 degree Celsius at some places in Interior Odisha. It has also issued yellow warning for isolated thunderstorm activity in several parts of the state till May 3.
