Pre-monsoon rains are expected in many parts of the state. In the last 36 hours, it has been raining in some places of Odisha. Heavy to very heavy rain will likely occur at many places from tomorrow onwards. In view of this, the weather center has issued a yellow warning for various districts for the next 3 days.
Though there is no heatwave alert for coastal and interior Odisha, heat wave warning will remain in force for several parts of western Odisha, the IMD said.
