The regional weather office has warned of thunderstorms and gusty winds affecting coastal districts and northern Odisha for the coming five days, according to Pragativadi.
The state meteorological department has issued a forecast that thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds are likely to affect Odisha's coastal belt and its northern regions within the next five days.
The advisory covers several coastal districts as well as areas in the north of the state, where the weather system is expected to bring intermittent heavy rain and strong wind gusts.
Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant, secure loose objects, and heed any further instructions from local officials to minimise damage and ensure safety.
Meteorologists attribute the expected conditions to a low‑pressure system moving over the Bay of Bengal, a pattern that commonly brings such weather to the eastern coast of India.
