Light rain and thunderstorms are likely in Odisha over the next four days under the impact of two back-to-back low-pressure areas, the IMD said Wednesday.

It is likely to intensify into a depression and move northwestwards across north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and south Andhra Pradesh coasts during the next 24 hours, said IMD Bhubaneswar’s Director Manorama Mohanty.
