BHUBANESWAR: Most places in the state are likely to witness rainfall for the next two days due to influence of Tuesday’s low-pressure that has formed over the Bay of Bengal, the IMD said on Wednesday.
There are chances of heavy rainfall at isolated places in select districts, but in most it won’t be as heavy as initially predicted. H R Biswas, director of regional IMD centre, said rainfall would reduce by Saturday.
Sarat Chandra Sahu, director of Centre for Environment and Climate at SOA deemed to be university, said the system would not give much rain as expected. The state government, however, continued to monitor the rainfall pattern so as to prevent any untoward incident. The IMD’s rainfall report recorded on Wednesday morning said Tensa in Sundergarh district recorded the highest 82.8 mm rainfall in the last 24 hours.
