Odisha is keeping a close watch on an evolving weather system over the Bay of Bengal, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts the formation of a low-pressure area today. The system is likely to move west-north-westwards and intensify further over the next few days. Meteorologists are monitoring its possible development into a cyclonic storm and its potential impact on the eastern coast. However, the system’s eventual intensity, track and landfall location remain uncertain. The IMD is expected to provide greater clarity as the system develops.
