The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)

The weather disturbance is expected to bring much-needed relief to the people of Odisha, who have been suffering from a prolonged period of dry weather. The state has been experiencing a severe drought-like situation, with many areas facing acute water shortages.
The expected rainfall will be a welcome reprieve for the state’s farmers, who have been struggling to grow crops due to the dry weather conditions. The rainfall is likely to help increase soil moisture and boost agricultural production in the state.
Moreover, the expected rainfall is also likely to help alleviate the air quality situation in the state, which has been deteriorating due to high levels of air pollution. The rain is expected to wash away the particulate matter in the air, which will help improve air quality and reduce health risks for people living in the state.
However, there are also concerns that the expected rainfall may cause flooding and landslides in parts of the state. The authorities have urged people living in areas prone to such disasters to take necessary precautions and avoid traveling during the rainfall event.
In addition to the rainfall event, the IMD has also predicted that temperatures in the state are likely to rise in the coming weeks. The department has urged people to take necessary measures to protect themselves from the heat, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
