Bhubaneswar: The local meteorological centre on Monday forecast rain and thunderstorm at most places of Odisha and heavy rainfall in coastal and interior areas in the next 24 hours owing to a low pressure area over Bay of Bengal.
“Yesterday’s low pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal Odisha and westcentral Bay of Bengal now lies over central parts of Odisha and its neighbourhood. Associated upper air cyclonic circulation extends up to 7.6 Km above mean sea level with tilting southwestwards with height,” the Met office said.
This is likely to trigger rain in most parts of the state. “Heavy to very heavy rainfall may occur at one or two places over districts of interior and coastal Odisha during next 24 hours,” it said.
Strong gusty surface wind from southeasterly direction in North Odisha and southwesterly direction in South Odisha with speed reaching 45-50 KMPH gusting to 60 KMPH likely to prevail along and off Odisha coast. Sea condition would be rough to very rough for which fishermen have been advised not to venture into sea, it added.
