A fresh low-pressure system developing over the Bay of Bengal is unlikely to bring rainfall to Odisha, providing major relief for agricultural activities and outdoor travel across the state, according to meteorologists on Wednesday, 11 November 2026.
The weather system, expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal by November 13 and intensify into a well-marked low-pressure area by November 14 as it moves north-northwestward, is projected to track away from the Odisha coastline.
Seven-Day Dry Weather & Early Morning Fog Warning
While coastal areas may see occasional cloud cover, the overall outlook for the state remains completely dry for the next seven days:
- Districts Under Fog Alert: Light to moderate fog is forecast during early morning hours over isolated pockets in nine districts: Sundargarh, Subarnapur (Sonepur), Boudh, Kandhamal, Angul, Dhenkanal, Koraput, Nayagarh, and Kataka.
- Stable Thermal Trends: Minimum night temperatures across Odisha are expected to remain steady over the coming week without sharp fluctuations.
- Favorable Conditions: Dry weather will ensure ideal conditions for harvesting, logistics, and outdoor festive preparations.
Temperature Variances Across Odisha
Recent observations highlight continuing microclimate differences between interior regions and southern hill tracts:
- Below-Normal Stations: Several stations across interior and western Odisha continue to log minimum night temperatures 3°C to 4°C below seasonal averages.
- Koraput Warm Anomaly: In contrast, Koraput town recorded a night temperature 5.2°C above normal, reflecting localized microclimate variations.
- Mild Winter Outlook: As winter gradually sets in, pleasant night-time and early-morning chill will continue, particularly in the interior plateau regions.
