Odisha Weather Update: Rainfall Activity Likely to Ease, No Major Warning for Next Six Days

The impact of rainfall is gradually weakening across Odisha, with dry weather prevailing in several parts of the state. As the influence of the low-pressure system over Odisha has reduced considerably, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast no major rainfall warning for the next six days.

According to the Regional Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar, light to moderate rainfall may occur at a few places across coastal and interior Odisha during this period. However, no significant spell of heavy rain is expected across the state.

Dry Weather to Continue for Six Days

The low-pressure area is currently active over northeast Madhya Pradesh and adjoining regions. An associated cyclonic circulation extends up to around 7.6 km above mean sea level and is tilted southwestward with height.

Due to the changing weather system, rainfall activity over Odisha has reduced. Several districts are witnessing dry weather, while some areas are experiencing relatively strong sunshine.

In Bhubaneswar, the weather has remained mostly dry, although residents are experiencing slight discomfort due to humid conditions.

The current weather pattern is likely to continue until September 7. On September 8, isolated rainfall may occur at a few places. However, the Regional Meteorological Centre has indicated that there is no significant possibility of thunderstorm or lightning-related rainfall during this period.

Heavy Rain Expected in Three Districts from September 9

After nearly six days of relatively dry conditions, rainfall activity is expected to increase in some parts of Odisha from September 9.

The weather department has issued a Yellow Warning for three districts — Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Sundargarh — with the possibility of heavy to very heavy rainfall.

While light to moderate rain may occur at some other places, these three northern districts are likely to receive comparatively higher rainfall.

The weather department has advised residents in the warned districts to remain alert and keep track of the latest weather updates, particularly as rainfall intensity may increase from September 9.

Overall, Odisha is expected to experience a temporary reduction in rainfall activity over the next few days, before rainfall picks up again in parts of the state from September 9.
