Bhubaneswar, Nov 9 : An upper air cyclonic circulation is likely to form over the south-east Bay of Bengal on November 14, which may get converted into a low-pressure area the next day with the probability of further intensification, according to the Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) here.
“Preliminary model analysis indicates that the system will move in a north- westerly direction with the possibility that it might change direction and head in a northerly direction on November 16, a CEC bulletin said.
Under its influence, light to moderate rain might occur in the southern Odisha district on November 15, with a probability of heavy rainfall starting the next day.
With the system moving in a northerly direction, the coastal and northern Odisha districts could receive widespread precipitation, with heavy rainfall in a few places from November 16 night.
Heavy rainfall could occur in Gajapati, Koraput, Rayagada, Kandhamal, Ganjam, Puri, Nayagarh, Dhenkanal, Jagatsinghpur, Khurda, Cuttack, Kendrapara,Bhadrak, Balasore, Mayurbhanj, Jajpur and Keonjhar between November 16 and 18, the bulletin said.
It said model analysis indicated that the prevailing decrease in night temperature and increase in day temperature will continue till November 12 due to the prevailing anticyclone, a weather phenomenon, over central India.
As these systems are expected to weaken subsequently, it could cause a gradual rise in night temperature from November 13, the CEC bulletin said.
