On the other hand, the active low pressure has weakened over south Chhattisgarh and its adjoining areas. The cyclonic circulation associated with it has gone up to 3.1 kilometers in the atmosphere. Due to this, several areas across Odisha continue to experience cold.
On the other hand, the Weather experts said that after the rainfall, cyclone Michaung changed its course in different parts of the state and passed through interior Odisha. Since it remained far away from the coastal areas, the intensity of rainfall in Odisha was not much. Further, due to minimal to no rainfall in Odisha, the wind speed remains reduced.
