Bhubaneswar, Aug 10: Odisha may see another spell of increased rainfall activity around August 13, as a cyclonic circulation over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas could develop into a low-pressure area.
The weather system is currently active over the northwest Bay of Bengal. Conditions are favourable for the formation of a low-pressure area over the same region in the coming days.
If the system develops as expected, it could influence rainfall across Odisha and nearby areas, bringing the possibility of more widespread showers in parts of the state.
For residents, farmers and commuters, the developing system could mean changing weather conditions over the next few days. Farmers, in particular, will be watching the rainfall pattern closely as monsoon showers remain important for agricultural activities.
People living in low-lying areas and those planning travel are also likely to keep an eye on updated weather forecasts, especially if rainfall intensity increases.
Weather authorities are monitoring the system and are expected to provide further updates as its movement and strength become clearer.
The possible formation of the low-pressure area comes during the active monsoon season, when weather systems over the Bay of Bengal can significantly influence rainfall over Odisha and other parts of eastern India.
Residents are advised to follow official weather updates and take necessary precautions if heavy rainfall occurs in their areas.
