The coastal parts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh have been receiving moderate to heavy spells of Monsoon rains. Hence, several places such as Visakhapatnam, Balasore, Kakinada, Tirupathi and Dhenkanal have been recording a good amount of rainfall activities.
In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, Balasore recorded moderate rainfall of 87 mm, Dhenkanal 32 mm, Tirupathi 14 mm, Angul 12 mm, Koraput 11.4 mm, Cuddappah 9.8 mm, Nellore 7 mm, Kakinada 5.7 mm, Visakhapatnam 2.6 mm and Jharsuguda 2 mm.
These weather conditions can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation which is seen persisting over Coastal Odisha and adjoining areas. Therefore, due to this weather system, moderate rain with one or two spells of heavy showers are likely to continue at many places over coastal parts of Odisha.
Further, this cyclonic circulation is likely to move gradually towards West. Thus, Coastal parts of Odisha will witness a decreasing trend in the rainfall activities after 48 hours. Until then, good Monsoon rains are anticipated to continue at many places such as Balasore, Paripada, Ongole, Cuttack and Jharsuguda during the next 24 to 48 hours.
