Bhubaneswar, Sept 12: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rainfall in some parts of Odisha for next two days under the influence of cyclonic circulation formation.
The cyclonic circulation formed over central parts of Myanmar is likely to move west-northwestwards and lay over coastal Bangladesh and adjoining north-west Bay of Bengal within the next two days. The system subsequently may intensify into a low pressure area, the IMD said.
The met office has issued a heavy rainfall warning for several Odisha districts on Friday and Saturday.
Heavy rainfall may occur in some places in Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar on Friday. Similarly, some places in Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Balasore, Bhadrak, Sambalpur, Angul, Bargarh, Deogarh, Jharsuguda and Sundargarh districts are expected to receive heavy rainfall on Saturday, the met office said.
SOA’s Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) said the cyclonic circulation may intensify into a low pressure area by Thursday evening and there is a possibility that the system will move westwards and further intensify into a depression on Saturday over Jharkhand and neighbourhood.
Odisha is likely to experience heavy rainfall under its influence on Saturday and Sunday, the CEC said.
