Another Low Pressure Over Bay Of Bengal Likely Around July 4; Check Forecast

Bhubaneswar: Odisha can look forward to some relief from the sultry weather conditions, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal around July 4, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted.

In its extended range outlook, IMD said a low-pressure area over the northwest, adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal and coastal areas is likely to form around Tuesday (July 4). Along with offshore troughs, the low-pressure area is likely to cause active monsoon conditions over the country. The models suggest subsequent west-northwestwards movement of the system over the land without further intensification, said the national weather forecaster.

Below is the day-wise forecast in this connection.

July 3: Heavy rainfall is very likely to occur in one or two places over the districts of Gajapati, Ganjam, Rayagada, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, and Kalahandi.
