The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday predicted a slight enhancement in the rainfall activities in different parts of Odisha in the next five days.
As per the IMD, a cyclonic circulation is likely to emerge around September 29 over the east-central Bay of Bengal & adjoining north Andaman Sea off the Myanmar coast. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the east-central Bay of Bengal off the Myanmar coast in the subsequent 24 hours. Thereafter, it is likely to move northwest-wards with the possibility of gradual intensification, said IMD.
