Even as some parts of the State are facing a flood-like situation, the Regional Office of the IMD here on Saturday forecasted more rains due to cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal.
“The cyclonic circulation now lies over east-central and adjoining northeast Bay of Bengal extending up to 5.8 km above mean sea level. It is very likely to move west north-westwards and reach northwest Bay of Bengal of north Odisha and West-Bengal coasts during the next 12 hours,” said the IMD in a tweet.
Many places over the districts of north Odisha and a few places over the districts of south Odisha would receive rainfall under its impact.
Yellow warning for heavy rainfall has been sounded in Baleswar, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Khordha, Puri, Nayagarh, Dhenkanal, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh, Kandhamal, Malkangiri and Koraput on Sunday.
For September 20, the warning has been issued in Sundargarh, Balangir, Sambalpur, Bargarh, Deogarh, Jharsuguda and Subarnapur districts, the IMD said.
