The Low-Pressure Area over the southeast Bay of Bengal continued to persist over the same region on February 24, 2026, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The associated cyclonic circulation extends up to 3.1 km above mean sea level. The system is very likely to move eastwards and gradually weaken over the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, an upper air cyclonic circulation persists over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining north coastal Odisha at about 1.5 km above mean sea level. This system may influence weather conditions in several parts of Odisha.
Under its impact, light rain or thundershowers are very likely to occur at one or two places in the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Kendrapara, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Mayurbhanj, Gajapati, Ganjam, Khordha, Puri, Malkangiri, Koraput and Rayagada until 8:30 AM IST on February 25. The remaining districts are expected to witness dry weather.
Shallow to moderate fog is also very likely during early morning hours at isolated places in Balasore, Bhadrak, Kendrapara, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Mayurbhanj, Khordha and Puri districts. Dense fog conditions are likely at isolated pockets in Jagatsinghpur, Khordha and Puri.
The IMD has issued a Yellow Warning for isolated places in Balasore, Bhadrak, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur and Mayurbhanj districts, where thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty surface winds reaching 30–40 kmph are very likely. Residents have been advised to remain cautious during thunderstorm activity and take necessary safety precautions.
