A low-pressure area formed over the Bay of Bengal is expected to become a depression within 36 hours, potentially causing rainfall in Odisha.

Bhubaneswar, Oct 21 (PTI) The IMD on Tuesday said a low-pressure area has formed over the Bay of Bengal and is expected to intensify into a depression in the next 36 hours, which could trigger rainfall in Odisha.

The weather office issued a 'yellow' warning (be aware) for several districts of Odisha for Tuesday and Wednesday.

“Under the influence of Monday’s upper air cyclonic circulation over the sea, a low-pressure system has formed over the southwest Bay of Bengal at 5.30 am on Tuesday," the India Meteorological Department said in a statement.
