Odisha is currently experiencing a lull in monsoon activity, with no significant weather system influencing the state, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar.

A steady influx of dry air from the west has disrupted the monsoon flow, leading to a temporary break in substantial rainfall across the region.


Weather experts predict that this dry spell will dominate the state for the next week, with daytime temperatures expected to climb by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius.

Despite the largely dry forecast, parts of southern Odisha may see some relief in the form of light rain, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning, as stated by Manorama Mohanty, Director of the Regional Meteorological Centre. “While the state as a whole will remain mostly dry, certain areas in the southern region could experience scattered showers and thunderstorms,” Mohanty explained. This comes as a contrast to the otherwise parched conditions expected to prevail.

In the past 24 hours, rainfall patterns across Odisha have been uneven. Puri district recorded no rainfall, while Balasore saw below-normal precipitation and Malkangiri experienced normal levels. Meanwhile, 27 other districts reported above-normal rainfall, with Nabarangpur’s Nandahandi area recording the highest at 149 mm. Mayurbhanj’s Jamda followed with 125 mm, and Ganjam’s Bhanjnagar logged 113 mm. Several other areas recorded rainfall ranging from 0 to 100 mm, indicating a varied distribution across the state.

Looking ahead to Sunday, the Meteorological Centre has issued a yellow warning for Mayurbhanj, Balasore, and Bhadrak districts, cautioning residents about potential thunderstorms and lightning accompanied by rain. Coastal Odisha, along with Keonjhar and Malkangiri districts, may also experience light showers, offering some respite from the rising heat. However, the rest of the state is likely to remain dry, with daytime temperatures expected to inch higher, adding to the discomfort of residents.

Mohanty further elaborated, “The absence of a defined weather system and the dominance of dry westerly winds are contributing to the current conditions. While light rain is possible in some areas, the overall trend points to dry weather and a gradual increase in temperatures.” This forecast aligns with the seasonal shift, as Odisha transitions through a phase of reduced monsoon activity.

Residents in the affected districts are advised to stay updated on weather alerts, especially in areas under the yellow warning, where thunderstorms and lightning could pose risks. Farmers and outdoor workers are urged to take precautions as temperatures rise, ensuring adequate hydration and protection from the heat. The Regional Meteorological Centre will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
