Localised Showers and Coastal Outlook

Rain is likely to continue in some regions for the next two days, though its impact is expected to be much less, with showers restricted to certain areas. In coastal regions, the weather is likely to improve, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Due to the earlier low-pressure system and the presence of cloud masses, some places may still receive light rain, but without a significant effect.

Regional Impact in North and South Odisha

The southern and northern regions are expected to experience some rainfall on Saturday. Recent heavy showers have caused flooding in Balasore, Bhadrak, and Jagatsinghpur, yet the rain forecast for the coming two days is not expected to worsen the situation.
