Odisha, 21/08:  Low pressure again, more rain. A cyclone is active in North Odisha and South Gangetic West Bengal coast. Under its influence, heavy rain will occur in many areas in North Odisha from tomorrow.

A new low pressure is expected to form in the same area by the 23rd or 24th. After the formation of the low pressure, the intensity of rain in North Odisha will increase further and heavy to very heavy rain may occur.

Heavy rain is likely to occur in Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar on the 22nd. In addition, an alert has been issued for moderate rain in Kalahandi and Nabarangpur. Light to moderate rain is likely to occur in coastal Odisha at this time. The Meteorological Department has informed about this.

Heavy rain is expected in Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh, Bargarh and Balangir on the 23rd. The Meteorological Department has estimated that rain will increase in North Odisha and moderate rain will continue in the coastal areas.

The amount of rain will increase further from the 24th. For this, some other areas of North Odisha, including Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj, have been warned. Orange alert has been issued for Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj from 24th to 27th.

Due to the heavy rain, there is a risk of flood situation again in North Odisha, which was already affected by floods. The local administration will also have to be alert as the water level in the rivers is likely to increase and water will enter the low-lying areas.

The impact of rain may be especially severe in Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj and other North Odisha districts. This rain has increased concerns for people who have already suffered from floods. Therefore, it is important to monitor every change in the weather in the coming days.

According to the information of Manorma Mohanty, Director of the Meteorological Center, rainfall will increase in the state due to the effect of the cyclone and the subsequent low pressure. Therefore, people should be alert especially in the districts where the orange alert is issued and follow the instructions of the administration.
