The upper air trough could cause light to moderate rainfall with the possibility of heavy rainfall at one or two places in the coastal districts during the day, the CEC Director, Dr Sarat Chandra Sahu
said. The districts likely to experience rain, include Jagatsinghpur, Jajpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak, Balasore, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Dhenkanal, he said, adding heavy precipitation at one or two locations was possible in Balasore, Bhadrak and Mayurbhanj districts.
The districts of Puri, Khurda and Cuttack may also experience light rainfall with thunderstorm activity between Monday and Wednesday, Sahu said.
A former director of Meteorological Centre, Bhubaneswar, Sahu said that the probability of an appreciable decrease in night temperature was high from November 4.
“Availability of moisture due to onshore wind (wind from the sea) towards the Odisha coast might not support a decrease in the night temperature till November 3,” he pointed out.
