While the MeT office has forecast heavy rainfall in Assam, Meghalaya, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim due to cyclonic circulation over Northwest Bay of Bengal in mid-tropospheric levels and strong southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal to Northeast India at lower tropospheric levels, Odisha is likely to experience isolated/scattered rainfall with thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds during the next 5 days.

The Bhubaneswar Meteorological Centre has issued yellow warning for thunderstorm with lightning at one or two places in Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur and Kendrapada till 8,30 am on Friday.
