A low pressure area formed over south-east Bay of Bengal is likely to trigger rainfall in the coastal and interior parts of the State, the regional office of Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted on Friday.
The low pressure is likely to concentrate into a depression during the next 36 hours and intensify further during subsequent 24 hours, an IMD release said.
Thunder squall with hail, rain and wind speed reaching 50-60 kmph is likely to occur at one or two places over coastal Odisha and adjoining districts of Kandhamal, Kalahandi and Rayagada, the weather office predicted.
Strong and gusty surface wind speed reaching 45 kmph gusting to 50 kmph is likely to prevail along and off the Odisha coast. Fishermen have been warned not to venture into sea, as they might be rough.
