Rainfall likely in Odisha for next five to seven days: IMD 

Odisha is likely to experience light to moderate rainfall for the next five to seven days, informed the Regional Centre of the India Meteorological Department in Bhubaneswar on Thursday. 

The cyclonic circulation lying over West Jharkhand and neighbourhood areas and active Monsoon trough line will cause the rainfall.  

According to IMD’s Bhubaneswar regional centre director Manorama Mohanty, though the rainfall is expected to continue for the next five to seven days, its intensity is likely to be comparatively less.

“Rainfall is likely to continue for the next five to seven days. However, the intensity of rainfall may decrease. Most places may witness light to moderate rainfall. In the coming 48 hours, heavy rainfall may be experienced at one or two places,” said Mohanty.
