A cyclonic circulation is currently active over the South Andaman Sea and its adjoining areas, raising the possibility of a fresh low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a low-pressure area is likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal on November 13.
The system is expected to move west-northwestwards and become more organised into a well-marked low-pressure area by November 14. It may further intensify into a depression by November 15, the weather department has forecast.
However, the developing weather system is not expected to have any significant impact on Odisha.
No Rain Forecast in Odisha for the Next Seven Days
According to the Regional Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar, weather conditions across Odisha are likely to remain predominantly dry over the next seven days.
The IMD has forecast dry weather across all districts from November 12 to November 18. There is no possibility of significant rainfall during this period, and no rain-related warning has been issued for any district.
The developing low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is therefore unlikely to bring any major rainfall activity to the state.
Fog Alert for 13 Districts
While rainfall is unlikely, several parts of Odisha may experience fog during the morning hours.
The weather department has predicted light to moderate fog at isolated places in 13 districts.
These districts include Koraput, Kandhamal, Khordha, Jajpur, Bhadrak, Jagatsinghpur, Cuttack, Kendrapara, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Balasore, Angul and Dhenkanal.
Residents in these districts may experience reduced visibility during the early morning hours.
Overall, Odisha is expected to witness mostly dry weather conditions over the coming week, even as a new low-pressure system develops over the Bay of Bengal.
