By October, the IMD forecasted the development of a cyclonic circulation over the north Bay of Bengal, which would bring light to moderate showers to Odisha.

Around October 10, a cyclonic circulation is expected to emerge over the north Bay of Bengal, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). This could result in mild to moderate rainfall in a number of Odisha regions.

The system is expected to progressively intensify, affecting the state's weather over the next days, according to the Bhubaneswar Regional Meteorological Centre.

The most recent advisory predicts that on October 10 and 11, there will be widespread light to moderate showers in Odisha.

In addition, the IMD has issued a Yellow Warning for 20 districts for Wednesday, warning locals of the possibility of thunderstorms with lightning and strong gusts. Light to moderate rainfall is possible during the evening and nighttime hours in the districts that are under the alert.

Although the cyclonic circulation is still developing, the strength and movement of the circulation will determine if a low-pressure region forms later, according to weather experts.

Given the possibility of choppy weather over the Bay of Bengal in the days ahead, fishermen have been cautioned to keep abreast of official forecasts before heading out to sea.

The IMD has advised people to exercise caution because lightning strikes during thunderstorms pose serious risks, especially in rural and coastal areas.

Such post-monsoon systems frequently deliver brief bursts of rain and thunderstorms as the southwest monsoon retreats, supplying much-needed moisture before to the arrival of winter.
