The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rainfall and thunderstorms in several parts of Odisha over the next 48 hours. A yellow warning has been issued, with surface winds expected to reach 40-50 kmph along the North Odisha coast.

Monsoon has arrived in Odisha, alleviating heatwave conditions with widespread rainfall. The Regional MeT Department issued a yellow warning for nine districts, forecasting rain, thunderstorms, and lightning. This rainfall is crucial for starting Kharif cultivation but varies significantly across districts.

The cyclonic circulation over the west-central Bay of Bengal adjoining Coastal Andhra Pradesh has become less marked, said IMD.

Heavy rain accompanied by gusty winds and lightning was reported in different parts of Bhubaneswar in the afternoon today.

The SRC office has asked the Collectors of eight districts- Sundargarh, Jharsuguda, Bargarh, Sambalpur, Sonepur, Bolangir, Boudh and Nuapada to remain alert in view of the heatwave alert for the next five days.

The SRC office today informed that so far five sunstroke deaths have been confirmed including one each in Balasore, Dhenkanal, Mayurbhanj, Sonepur and Bolangir.

Heat wave further intensified in Odisha as mercury touched 47°C in Jharsuguda on Thursday. It was the season's highest temperature thus far in the State.

Odisha is experiencing an intense heat wave, with Jharsuguda recording a maximum temperature of 46.6 degrees Celsius.

The Southwest Monsoon has arrived early in Kerala, influenced by Cyclone Remal. According to IMD, Kerala will experience above-normal rainfall this season. Concurrently, a severe heatwave engulfs parts of India, with temperatures soaring up to 52°C. However, the monsoon is expected to bring relief from the heat with significant rainfall predicted for early June.

The low-pressure area over the southwest Bay of Bengal moved northeastwards and now lays as a well-marked low pressure over the west-central and adjoining south Bay of Bengal.

The system is very likely to continue to move northeastwards, intensify further into a cyclonic storm over eastcentral Bay of Bengal by May 25 (morning).

Will rain play spoil sport during the third phase polling in Odisha? Well, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall in several parts of Odisha on May 25.

Bhubaneswar IMD Director Manorama Mohanty assured that there's no need for panic as no cyclone is predicted currently, though a low pressure may form by May 22 in the Bay of Bengal. She emphasized ongoing monitoring and future updates.
