The southwest monsoon will be coming to Odisha until June 11 as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) informed. HR Biswas, Bhubaneswar Meteorological Centre Director stated that the monsoon’s advancement towards Odisha is unlikely in the next five days. A further forecast will be provided after that period.
Director of the Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) at SOA University, Sarat Chandra Sahu expressed similar views and said the southwest monsoon’s advancement towards the State is unlikely to happen in the next five days. He said “There is a possibility that south-west monsoons current will strengthen over the Arabian Sea by June 9 or 10. This is likely to help in the advancement of the monsoon towards south Odisha by June 12 or 13.”
However, rainfall activity might not be significant when the monsoon advances towards south Odisha. Many places in south Odisha districts are expected to receive light to moderate rainfall. Only one or two places are likely to receive heavy rainfall during the period as the monsoon current will not be very strong due to the absence of any weather system over the Bay of Bengal.
On Monday, 11 places in the State recorded 40 degrees Celsius or more. Nuapada was the hottest at 44 degrees, followed by Boudh and Balangir at 43 degrees each. The Twin City of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack recorded 35.6 degrees and 35.8 degrees respectively.
