Meteorological agencies say two low‑pressure troughs will cause continuous rain and thunderstorms across Odisha for the coming week, with a yellow warning in effect until October 9.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow warning for Odisha effective until October 9 as two low‑pressure troughs move across the Bay of Bengal and the Indian subcontinent.
The interacting troughs are expected to generate widespread moderate to heavy rainfall and frequent thunderstorms from the coming days through the week, affecting coastal districts such as Puri and Jagatsinghpur as well as inland areas including Bhubaneswar.
Authorities have advised residents to stay alert, avoid low‑lying zones, and secure outdoor items. While no severe alert has been raised yet, the warning could be upgraded if conditions deteriorate.
The IMD cautioned farmers to protect standing crops and monitor water‑logging, as agricultural activities may be impacted.
Daily updates will be released, and the public is urged to follow local advisories closely.
