These rains will be because of the cyclonic circulation which is at present over North Andaman Sea. It will gradually move in a northwest direction towards Odisha and West Bengal coast and will increase the rain activity over most parts of East India including Odisha.
These rain activities are expected to continue to the state until the month end. However, in contrast with the interior regions of the state such as Sambalpur, Jharsuguda, Bhawanipatna and Phulbani, the districts lying in the Coastal belt such as Koraput, Ganjam, Gajapati, Puri, Bhubaneswar, and Cuttack will get to see more rains.
