Bhubaneswar: Rain and thundershower coupled with gusty surface wind are likely at some places in coastal Odisha and adjoining areas by Saturday due to a well marked low pressure over the Bay of Bengal.
A low pressure area was formed yesterday over southeast Bay of Bengal and its neighbourhood and it has become well marked low pressure area over the same region today, the MeT office here said today.
