Heavy Rain Likely To Lash Odisha Till Aug 6 :

. 

Bhubaneswar: Heavy rain is likely to lash many areas of Odisha till August 6 due to a low pressure taking shape over the Bay of Bengal, the MeT Centre here said on Monday, advising fishermen to refrain from venturing into deep sea in view of very rough weather.

Under the influence of a cyclonic circulation over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining Bangladesh and another one over north-east Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood, a low- pressure area is likely to form over north Bay of Bengal on Tuesday, the Meteorological Centre here said.

Many areas have already received rainfall of varied intensity with heavy to very heavy rainfall at some places in Cuttack district, he said, adding that heavy rainfall has occurred in several places in Angul, Dhenkanal and Malkangiri districts.

The low pressure is likely to trigger heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas in Ganjam, Balangir, Boudh, Kandhamal and Mayurbhanj, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Bargarh and Koraput districts till Tuesday, the MeT Centre said.
