Bhubaneswar: The low-pressure area likely to form over the Bay of Bengal may not have much impact on Odisha, said the India Meteorology Department (IMD).
Manorama Mohanty, Director of IMD, Bhubaneswar stated that the low pressure formed over the Bay of Bengal will not have much impact on Odisha as it will move in the northwest direction.
However, the system may further intensify into a deep depression and cause rain in some coastal districts of the state.
The low pressure is likely to form over the southwest Bay of Bengal, close to the Tamil Nadu coast, which is far from the Odisha coast and will not also move further in a northeast direction. However, there are chances of its further intensification, the IMD said.
