The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a Yellow Warning for seven districts in Southern Odisha, forecasting heavy rainfall due to a developing low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal.
The system is expected to intensify into a depression by October 2, and cross the South Odisha–Andhra Pradesh coast by October 3.
A cyclonic circulation has already formed today, setting the stage for widespread showers that may impact Durga Puja festivities across the region.
⚠️ Districts Under Yellow Warning (Till October 1):
- Ganjam
- Gajapati
- Rayagada
- Kalahandi
- Koraput
- Nabarangpur
- Malkangiri
Authorities have advised residents and Puja committees to take precautionary measures, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Farmers are also urged to protect standing crops from potential waterlogging.
