The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that Odisha will be under the influence of persistent heavy rainfall and thunderstorms through September 2.

Residents in coastal and inland districts are advised to stay alert and monitor local alerts for any sudden intensification of the storms. Authorities have been reminded to keep emergency response teams on standby to address potential flooding or water‑logging in vulnerable areas.
