Low Pressure To Intensify Into Depression: IMD Issues Red Warning For 17 Odisha Districts

OB Bureau

Bhubaneswar: With the low pressure over the Bay of Bengal all set to concentrate into a depression, the India Meteorological Department on Sunday issued a red warning for 17 districts of Odisha.

The national weather agency, in a morning bulletin, said that the low-pressure area formed yesterday over the central and adjoining North Bay of Bengal now lies as a well-marked low-pressure area over the north-west and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal with associated cyclonic circulation. The system is most likely to move northwestwards and concentrate into a depression over the north-west Bay of Bengal off north Odisha and West Bengal coasts during the next 24 hours and then move west-north-west across North Odisha and north Chhattisgarh during subsequent 2-3 days.

Under its influence, there will be heavy rainfall with isolated extremely heavy rainfall across the state for three days till September 14.

In view of the heavy rainfall, IMD has issued an advisory to the state government to take necessary precautions as there will be temporary waterlogging in low-lying areas, underpass roads and occasional reduction of visibility causing traffic congestion in urban areas and the possibility of some damage to informal/kutcha roads in semi-urban and rural areas.

Fishermen have been advised not to venture into sea along and off the Odisha coast, north and west-central Bay of Bengal from September 12 to 14 and those in the deep sea areas are advised to return to the coast by tonight as the squally weather with wind speed reaching 45-55 kmph gusting 65 kmph will make the sea condition very rough.
