Bhubaneswar: The regional meteorological centre of India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday issued thunderstorm and heavy rainfall warning for 13 districts of Odisha.
The alert has been sounded for Balasore, Bhadrak, Sonepur, Rayagada, Balangir, Sambalpur, Keonjhar, Boudh, Angul, Nuapada, Jharsuguda, Sundargarh and Deogarh districts.
According to a bulletin issued in this regard, latest Doppler weather radar and satellite imageries indicate that thunderstorm accompanied by lightning and intense spell of rain are likely to occur in these districts till 8 pm.
People in these areas have been advised either to stay indoors or shift to safer places, if such weather conditions prevail.
Besides, the fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea.
The weatherman has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall in the state, especially coastal areas, in the next 48 hours as the well-marked low pressure formed over north-west Bay of Bengal has turned into a depression.
Most places in the state, including the twin cities, remained inundated in knee-deep water owing to incessant rainfall since last night.
