People across Odisha are waiting for the onset of monsoon ahead of the Raja festival. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday said the southwest monsoon is likely to touch the State in the next 2 to 3 days.

As per IMD, the monsoon has further advanced into remaining parts of central Arabian Sea, most parts of Konkan (including Mumbai), some parts of Madhya Maharashtra, and some more parts of Karnataka today.

Southwest Monsoon has further advanced over some parts of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Karaikal, southwest & westcentral Bay of Bengal on Tuesday.

As per IMD, the southwest monsoon has advanced over some more parts of central Arabian Sea, some parts of Karnataka, entire Kerala, some more parts of Tamil Nadu, entire southeast Bay of Bengal, some more parts of southwest Bay of Bengal, most parts of Eastcentral Bay of Bengal, some parts of Westcentral and Northeast Bay of Bengal.

Under the influence of westerly winds from Arabian Sea over the south peninsular India in lower tropospheric levels, widespread light/moderate rainfall with thunderstorm/ lightning is very likely over Kerala, Mahe, and Lakshadweep Islands.

IMD had earlier predicted that this year the southwest monsoon would hit the Kerala coast by May 27. 

The IMD’s regional centre in Bhubaneswar today predicted that there will be no change as there will be a rise in the maximum temperature and humid conditions in the next three days.

As per the latest forecast, the conditions are favorable for further advance of Southwest Monsoon over some more parts of South Arabian Sea, entire Maldives and adjoining areas of Lakshadweep and some more parts of Comorin area during the next 48 hours.

 The southwest monsoon is likely to withdraw on October 26, the same day when the northeast monsoon is likely to commence over southeast peninsular India, India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

As per a bulletin issued by the IMD's Regional Centre in Bhubaneswar, monsoon has withdrawn from Sundergarh, Jharsuguda, Deogarh, Sambalpur , Bargarh, Bolangir, Sonepur, Nuapada, Boudh, Kalahandi and Nabarangpur districts in the State.

South West monsoon is active over Odisha, informed the Indian Meteorological Department on Thursday (September 30). In the next couple of days, light to moderate rain or thundershower is likely to occur at many places over several districts including coastal and interior areas of Odisha.

A good read, a cup of hot coffee and a cosy couch is the best way to enjoy the monsoons.

Rainfall during August and September, the second half of the four-month rainfall season, is likely to be on the higher side of normal, said IMD Director General Mrutunjay Mohapatra.

The increase in humidity can have multi-dimensional effects on long, lustrous locks leaving them dull, frizzy and prone to hair fall. Contact with acidic rainwater can leave the scalp extremely dry and flaky thus inviting dandruff related concerns.
