Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a multi-day weather alert for Odisha, forecasting widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds across the state.

The alert comes as an existing low-pressure system over the region is expected to be followed by a more significant weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal later this week.

According to the midday bulletin from the Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar, a low-pressure area currently lies over coastal areas of Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining north Odisha. This system is likely to persist for the next 24 hours, influencing weather patterns.

Of greater concern is the likelihood of a new low-pressure area forming over the northwest Bay of Bengal around September 25.
