Heavy Rain Persists in Odisha as Bay of Bengal Depression Strengthens

Heavy rain has continued across Odisha as a low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal deepened. Meteorological officials say the depression is gaining strength, which is sustaining the widespread showers.

The persistent downpour has caused waterlogging in several districts, disrupting road traffic and daily activities. Local authorities have issued advisories for residents to avoid non‑essential travel.

The India Meteorological Department is closely monitoring the system and has warned that further intensification could lead to more severe weather in the coming days.
