Odisha To Remain Dry Despite Fresh Low-Pressure System Over Bay Of Bengal; Fog Likely In Several Districts

Bhubaneswar, November 11: Odisha is unlikely to witness rainfall despite the formation of a fresh low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal around November 13, according to the latest weather forecast.

The low-pressure system is expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas before intensifying into a well-marked low-pressure area by November 14. It is likely to move northwestwards, but current projections suggest that it will have little impact on Odisha’s weather.

The state is likely to experience predominantly dry weather over the next seven days. While some coastal districts may witness partly cloudy skies, there is no significant possibility of rainfall during this period.

Meanwhile, light to moderate fog is likely at isolated places in Sundargarh, Sonepur, Boudh, Kandhamal, Angul, Dhenkanal, Koraput, Nayagarh and Cuttack districts over the next two to three days, particularly during early morning hours.

Night temperatures are expected to remain largely stable across the state, with no significant changes forecast over the coming week.

According to weather observations, some places in Odisha have recorded minimum temperatures 3-4 degrees Celsius below normal. However, Koraput recorded a night temperature around 5.2 degrees Celsius above the seasonal average.

With winter gradually setting in, mild cold conditions are likely to prevail during night and early morning hours, particularly in interior districts.

The developing low-pressure system will continue to be monitored, but Odisha is expected to remain largely unaffected, with dry weather and isolated foggy conditions dominating the forecast over the next few days.
