Odisha gets four-day thunderstorm warning as monsoon withdraws
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a four-day warning for thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds in parts of Odisha from 14 October to 17 October, as the southwest monsoon continues to retreat. The IMD's Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar said on 13 October that isolated thunderstorms with wind speeds of 30 to 40 kmph are likely.
A yellow warning has been issued for several districts. Ganjam, Gajapati, Khordha, Puri and Nayagarh districts have been advised to stay alert on 14 to 15 October, while Sundargarh, Kendujhar, Mayurbhanj, Rayagada, Koraput, Malkangiri, Gajapati and Ganjam may see activity on 15 to 16 October. The monsoon has fully withdrawn from ten districts and partially from several others, with conditions becoming favourable for further withdrawal from the remaining parts of the country in the next two to three days.
