Going by block-wise rainfall data, 103 blocks have received surplus rainfall, 169 blocks received normal rainfall and 40 have received deficit rainfall. Only two blocks received severe deficit rainfall (39% to 59% cumulatively) during these four months. The two blocks are: Champua (41.6%) and Jhumpura (43.9%) in Keonjhar district.

The rainfall remained quite inadequate in most parts of the state till first three and half weeks of July and delayed agricultural activities. Good bout of rain was received towards the end of July and the trend continued in August and September too, the report added.

Torrential rains caused flooding and severe waterlogging in many southern and western districts of Odisha during three spells July 27 to August 5, August 6 to August 11 and August 12 to August 16.

A moderate flood was experienced in River Mahanadi in the last spell. Bolangir town received a record amount of 555 mm rain in a single day August 13, which created an unprecedented flood situation in the western Odisha town, it said.

The delayed south-west monsoon touched Odisha June 21 and covered 16 coastal districts and parts of six other districts. The entire Odisha was covered by June 22. Normally, the monsoon hits Odisha in the second week of June.
