The well-marked low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal has developed into a depression, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Sunday.
According to an IMD bulletin, the depression was located at a distance of about 310 km east of Kalingapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), 260 km east-southeast of Gopalpur (Odisha), 290 km south-southeast of Paradip (Odisha) and 410 km south of Digha (West Bengal).
The weather system is expected to move towards the north coasts of Odisha and West Bengal and intensify into a deep depression during the next 24 hours, it said.
Thereafter, it is very likely to move across north Odisha, Ganges, West Bengal, Jharkhand and adjacent north Chhattisgarh during the next two days, it said.
The Met office has issued an ‘Orange’ warning (be prepared) for heavy to very heavy rainfall at one or two places in Ganjam, Gajapati, Rayagada, Malkangiri and Koraput districts of Odisha for Sunday.
A ‘Yellow’ warning (to be updated) for heavy rainfall has also been issued for one or two places in Kendrapara, Khurda, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Cuttack, Nayagarh, Kandhamal, Kalahandi and Nabarangpur districts for Sunday.
The IMD has also forecast rain in most parts of the state on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
It was reported that under the influence of the prospective depression, turbulent weather conditions with strong surface winds reaching 40-50 km/hr gusting up to 60 km/hr are very likely to prevail in the north-west Bay of Bengal, along the West Central Bay of Bengal, along and off the Odisha coast during September 8-11.
Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea along and off the coasts of Odisha, north-west Bay of Bengal and the adjacent west-central Bay of Bengal during this period.
