Odisha Weather Update: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has confirmed that there is currently no cyclone threat to Odisha and has not issued any cyclone forecast for the region. This clarification comes in response to misinformation being circulated by some media outlets regarding a possible cyclone.

In an official statement, the IMD labelled such reports as baseless and misleading, urging the public to rely only on verified updates from official sources.

However, the IMD has noted that a low-pressure area is likely to form over the west-central and adjoining north Bay of Bengal by May 27. This system is expected to intensify gradually over the following two days, and authorities are monitoring it closely for further development.

Residents are advised to stay informed through official IMD bulletins and avoid spreading unverified news.

The Regional Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar has forecast rainfall across various parts of Odisha from May 27 to May 31 due to the influence of a developing low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. Some areas may experience heavy rainfall during this period.
