The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday issued an orange alert for several parts of Odisha. The weather office predicted heavy to very heavy rains in the eastern state during the next 24 hours.
IMD has issued an orange alert in Malkangiri, Koraput, and Nabrangnagar where heavy to very heavy rainfall is very likely to prevail over one or two places during the next 24 hours. Odisha’s Ganjam district has received 142.4 milimetres of rainfall, followed by Mayurbhanj with 132 milimetres of rainfall during the last 24 hours, as per the Met Department.
Senior IMD scientist in Bhubaneswar Umashankar Das attributed the phenomenon to a low-pressure area formed over the west-central Bay of Bengal contiguous to the north-west coast of south Odisha and north Andhra Pradesh. He further said that due to this, the state is likely to experience widespread rainfall over the next three days.
“A low-pressure area has formed over the west-central Bay of Bengal contiguous to the north-west coast of south Odisha and north Andhra Pradesh. Under its influence, Odisha is to experience widespread rain with heavy to very heavy rainfall for the next three days,” Das told ANI.
