Bhubaneswar, April 7 -- Amid the prevailing heat wave conditions across Odisha, a low-pressure area has been formed over the central parts of the south
Bay of Bengal under the influence of a cyclonic circulation, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday.
The low-pressure area is likely to move northwestwards till April 8 and then move slightly towards the west-central Bay of Bengal
during the next 48 hours, senior IMD scientist Uma Shankar Dash said.
The IMD in its midday bulletin said that despite the formation of the low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal, dry weather prevailed over the districts of Odisha.
"The maximum temperature rose by about 2-4 degrees Celsius at one or two places over the districts
of North Odisha and no large change elsewhere over the districts," it said.
