Bhubaneswar: A fresh low pressure zone formed over the North Bay of Bengal has intensified atmospheric instability across Odisha, pulling in moisture-laden winds and triggering widespread cloud cover. Under the influence of this marine system, light to moderate rainfall accompanied by scattered thunderstorms and gusty surface winds is expected across several districts, with central and coastal belts experiencing overcast skies and humid conditions throughout the day.
In the capital region of Bhubaneswar and adjacent areas like Cuttack, temperatures are hovering around 25°C to 30°C, with high humidity levels creating warm and sticky atmospheric conditions. Short spells of rain and thunder activity are anticipated in the afternoon and evening hours. Meanwhile, coastal districts including Puri, Kendrapara, and Balasore are witnessing persistent cloud cover along with intermittent coastal showers and moderate winds.
Interior and southern regions such as Sambalpur, Jharsuguda, and Koraput are seeing isolated to scattered rainfall activity accompanied by occasional lightning. The meteorological center advises residents to stay updated on local weather alerts, as localized thunder and moderate downpours may lead to temporary waterlogging in low-lying urban areas.
