Similarly, heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur in some places of interior Odisha, while heavy rainfall may be recorded at one or two places in coastal region during the next 24 hours, it said.
Strong gusty surface wind from southwesterly direction with 35 KMPH to 55 KMPH is likely to prevail along and off Odisha Coast.
Since the sea condition would be moderate to rough in Odisha coast, fishermen are advised to be cautious while venturing into the sea, the MeT office said.
Most parts of coastal and interior Odisha received a good amount of rainfall since Monday.
