Rainfall activities are likely to come back to Odisha districts beginning December 24, India Meteorological Department (IMD) regional centre forecasted on Sunday.

The development is attributed to a low-pressure system forming over the west-central Bay of Bengal. Southern coastal regions along with the neighbouring northern coastal districts are expected to experience the most intense effects of this weather system.
