The system is likely to trigger rain or thundershower at most places over coastal Odisha and a few places over interior parts of the state till tomorrow. Similarly, heavy rainfall is likely to occur at one or two places over districts of coastal Odisha till tomorrow, it said.

Strong surface winds with speed reaching 35 to 45 kmph will prevail along and off south Odisha coast. Sea condition would be moderate to rough, the MeT office said and advised fishermen to be cautious while venturing into sea in south Odisha coast.
