Heavy to Very Heavy Rainfall Likely from Sept. 22 to 26
Bhubaneswar, Sept. 20: A low-pressure area formed over the Bay of Bengal is likely to gradually intensify into a Depression by the evening of September 21 and further into a Deep Depression by September 23, the SOA Centre of Environmental and Climate (CEC) said in its preliminary assessment.
As the weather system is associated with the monsoon current, it may not intensify further, the CEC said.
According to Cec’s preliminary assessment, the system is likely to cross the Odisha coast between Ganjam and Puri districts during the night of September 23 or the forenoon of September 24.
Under its influence, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in several coastal, southern and western districts of Odisha between September 22 and 26, the CEC bulletin said.
