IMD predicts thunderstorms with gusty winds in Odisha districts

Even as the low-pressure area has now become well-marked over the southwest and adjoining Westcentral Bay of Bengal, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday informed that it is likely to move north-north-westwards during the next 24 hours over west-central Bay of Bengal, maintaining the intensity of well-marked low.

Thereafter, it is likely to re-curve north-north-eastwards and weaken gradually over the central Bay of Bengal during the subsequent 24 hours.

As per IMD, there is every possibility that the maximum temperature in Odisha is likely to register a fall owing to thunderstorm-triggered rainfall in several parts of the state in the coming days. A yellow warning for thunderstorm with lightning and gusty winds has also been issued for several districts.
