Relief From Hot & Humid Weather In Sight For Odisha With Heavy Rain Forecast Till Sept 8

Bhubaneswar: Odisha can expect some relief from the hot and humid weather conditions with heavy rainfall forecast for several districts of the state from Monday (September 5).

According to IMD’s midday bulletin, heavy rainfall is likely to occur at one or two places in Ganjam, Gajapati, Kandhamal, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Malkangiri, Koraput and Rayagada districts on September 5.  Yellow alert for thunderstorm with lightning has also been sounded for Angul, Dhenkanal, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Jajpur, Cuttack, Khurda, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Bhadrak, Kendrapara Nayagarh, Boudh, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Sonepur, Nabarangpur, Malkangiri, Koraput, Ganjam, Gajapati, Rayagada and Balasore during this period, when several districts will also experience light to moderate rain or thundershower.

The yellow warning for heavy rainfall continues till 8.30 am on September 9.

Check the IMD forecast for next 5 days:

While the bulletin mentions nothing about a possible low pressure over the Bay of Bengal this week, the IMD in its North Indian Ocean Extended Range Outlook for Cyclogenesis said earlier that there is a likelihood of formation of cyclonic circulation/low-pressure area over westcentral and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal during week 1 (September 2 to 8) and week 2 (September 9 to 15).

According to SOA’s Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) director S C Sahu, low pressure is likely to form along the west-central Bay of South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast on September 9.

Under its influence, moderate rain is likely to occur at many places in South Odisha with heavy to very heavy rainfall at one or two places in those districts from September 8-10. “The system may then move northward and trigger moderate rain at many places in North Odisha with heavy rainfall at one or two locations from September 11 to 13,” he said.

Sahu, however, ruled out further intensification of the system.
