Neighbouring states have already been receiving scattered light rain for last couple of days under the influence of this system. However, intensity of rain will increase as the system is now moving closer to the coast.
Initially, moderate to heavy showers can be expected over the coastal areas of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. Thereafter, system will intensify into a low pressure area and move inland, increasing both rain activity and spread.
This fresh spell of rainfall will pull down the rain deficiency in Odisha, which stands at 17% on September 11.
Let us have a look at the rainfall recorded in span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday across both the states.
