Bhubaneswar: A fresh low-pressure area is likely to develop over the southeast Bay of Bengal (BoB) around November 13, but Odisha is unlikely to witness any significant weather impact from the system, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicated Tuesday.
According to the IMD, the system is expected to move northwestwards after its formation and intensify into a well-marked low-pressure area by November 14. However, its development is not expected to trigger significant rainfall in Odisha, with predominantly dry weather likely to prevail across the state.
Meanwhile, light to moderate fog is likely at isolated places in nine districts over the next two to three days. The districts likely to experience foggy conditions are Sundaragada, Sonpur, Boudh, Kandhamala, Anugola, Dhenkanal, Koraput, Nayagada and Kataka. The weather department has also ruled out any major change in minimum temperatures across Odisha during the next seven days. Night temperatures are expected to remain largely stable, with no significant fluctuations anticipated. The developing low-pressure system over the BoB is being closely monitored by meteorological authorities. Its subsequent movement and intensification will be crucial in determining whether it brings any changes to Odisha’s prevailing weather conditions.
