According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there is no significant change expected in night temperatures over the next few days. Weather conditions are also likely to remain largely unchanged for the next six to seven days. A slight chill is expected to persist in Bhubaneswar and a few other parts of the state.

Meanwhile, several parts of Odisha witnessed light rainfall on Wednesday.

According to the IMD, a cyclonic circulation has formed over the South Andaman Sea. It is likely to develop into a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal by November 13.

Moving northwestwards, the system is expected to become a well-marked low-pressure area by November 14 and may intensify into a depression by November 15.

However, the IMD's forecast suggests that the developing weather system is unlikely to have any significant impact on Odisha.

The state is expected to experience predominantly dry weather until November 17. No major change in weather conditions is anticipated between November 18 and 21 either.

The forecast indicates that despite the possible intensification of the system over the Bay of Bengal, its impact on Odisha is likely to remain minimal.
