In the wake of theLow-Pressure Area over Northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha Coastand a trough extending along the East Coast, during the last 24 hours, widespread rain and thundershower activities occurred in parts ofAndhra Pradesh and Odisha. In fact, few heavy spells also occurred over the coastal areas of these states.
In the last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Thursday,Gopalpurin Odisha recorded 72 mm of rain, followed by Rentachintala 64 mm,Puri44 mm, Sambalpur 29 mm,Chandbali27 mm, Bhubaneswar 24 mm andNarsapur7 mm.
Now the Low-Pressure Area over Northwest Bay of Bengal is likely to move inland and give widespread rains over these states. During the next two days, we expect moderate to heavy rain and thundershowers over most parts ofOdisha and Andhra Pradesh.
At present, both these states are experiencing large rain deficiency. Coastal Andhra Pradesh is rain deficient by 68 percent, followed byOdisha-39% and Rayalaseema -37%. Rains will help in bringing down the rainfall deficiency of these states in the coming days.
Moreover, these rains may also help in theadvancement of Southwest Monsoonover parts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh during the next 48 hours. Even thoughMonsoonis already delayed over these states by 15 days, but now we expectMonsoon to mark its onsetanytime soon.
