Light to moderate rains will continue over these two states for the next 2 days. Intensity of rainfall is likely to increase after 48 hours.
During last 24 hour, Raipur received 56 mm of rainfall, Rajnandgaon 32 mm, Durg 56 mm and Ambikapur 3 mm.
In Odisha, Cuttack witnessed 26 mm of rainfall, Paradip 10 mm, Phulbani 8 mm and Koraput 4 mm of rainfall.
After 48 hours, more showers are likely to lash Odisha and Chhattisgarh in view of a fresh weather system coming up in the Bay of Bengal.
We can see a cyclonic circulation developing over west-central Bay and adjoining Andhra Pradesh coast. The weather system is expected to strengthen gradually, moving in a west-northwest direction.
So far, the state of Odisha has received 12% less rains than normal while Chhattisgarh is rainfall deficient to the tune of 5%. The ongoing spell of rainfall will definitely help the above-mentioned states to recover and inch towards normal rains.
