Bhubaneswar, August 2: Odisha is currently witnessing the effects of an active monsoon system, with dry weather during the daytime giving way to cloudy skies and rainfall in the afternoon. Several coastal areas of the state recorded showers today, and this weather pattern is expected to persist over the next four days.
According to the Regional Meteorological Centre, the monsoon trough is presently extending from Sri Ganganagar, passing through Rohtak, Shahjahanpur, Gorakhpur, Darbhanga, Santiniketan, and Canning, before moving southeast towards the northeastern Bay of Bengal.
