The Story in Brief
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that rain will continue across Odisha for at least three more days. A fresh low-pressure area is expected to form over the north-west Bay of Bengal around August 20, following an existing depression that is moving northwestwards through West Bengal and Jharkhand. Under its influence, heavy rainfall is forecast for northern and western Odisha. The IMD has issued an orange warning for four districts and a yellow warning for nine districts. The new system may also bring another spell of rain to coastal and central Odisha.
The Indian Opinion
Each August, a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal sparks alarm, but Odisha has robust forecasting and disaster response. The real test is not the formation of the system but its track and intensity. Watch whether the orange warning for four districts widens or narrows in the next 48 hours, that will show if the system is as disruptive as feared.
