Monsoon to advance further in three days: IMD
Bhubaneswar: IMD on Friday said conditions are favourable for the advancement of the southwest monsoon over the state during the next three days.
"Monsoon is likely to cover some parts of Odisha during the next three days due to favourable conditions," said Manorama Mohanty, head of the regional IMD centre here.
Monsoon, which hit Odisha on May 28, two weeks in advance compared to its normal arrival date, slowed down soon after it covered only parts of some selected southern districts.
Mohanty said many places in the state are likely to witness light to moderate rainfall during the next two days — Saturday and Sunday — under the influence of a trough line. "Thereafter, most places in the state are likely to experience rainfall in the subsequent two to three days, with heavy rain chances at isolated places in some districts," she said.
"Besides, a warning of thunderstorm activities accompanied by lightning and gusty surface wind will also continue in several districts during the coming four to five days," Mohanty added.
An IMD bulletin said there will be no change in day temperature during the next two days. Thereafter, the mercury will see a drop of 2-4 degrees Celsius.
The bulletin said many places in the state received light to moderate rain in the last 24 hours.
