Bhubaneswar: The cyclonic circulation is currently over central areas of interior Odisha, and heavy rain is expected to continue for two more days, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday.
"The cyclonic circulation that was over southern interior Odisha yesterday has now moved to central interior Odisha and adjoining Chhattisgarh." The Monsoon Trough also passes through Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Indore, Betul, Gondia, Raipur, and Gopalpur before reaching the West Central Bay of Bengal."

Heavy rain (7 to 11cm) may also fall in isolated locations in the districts of Malakangiri, Koraput, Nabarangpur, Rayagada, Gajapati, Kalahandi, Nuapada, Balangir, Sonepur, Boudh, Deogarh, Angul, Keonjhar, and Mayurbhanj.

Odisha has been receiving torrential rain for the previous few days as a result of a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal, which later strengthened into a low-pressure system. The state recorded an average rainfall of 15.6 mm in the past 24 hours and 83.7 mm so far this month, compared to a monthly average of 231.9 mm in September.
The maximum rainfall of 158 mm fell on Wednesday in Koraput district's Similiguda block. Other localities that received more than 100 mm of rain were Boipariguda (121 mm), Bandhugaon (107 mm), and Nabarangpur (115 mm) in the Nabarangpur district.
The heavy rains, however, have not been sufficient to make up for the state's rainfall shortfall, which has been recoded at 867.9 mm compared to its usual value of 984.9 mm through September 7 this monsoon season. While 10 districts are deficient, the remaining 20 are considered normal.
