The system which is a depression as of now, is currently over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining Jharkhand region and is expected to move towards the west following a northerly track and weaken further.
Thus, during the next 12 hours moderate to heavy rainfall is expected to be both these states. As the system is expected to move further away and weaken thereafter, rains are likely to reduce by tomorrow.
Therefore, both Odisha and Chhattisgarh will witness reduced rainfall activity, but rains will continue. Talking about coastal parts of Odisha, strong winds are expected along the coast.
Temperatures of a both these states will continue to be on the lower side resulting in comfortable weather conditions.
