In addition, Odisha, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal, eastern Madhya Pradesh, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh have all been forecasted to get significant rainfall. An orange signal has been issued by Chhattisgarh for severe rainfall in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, and Bihar.

Advisory For Fishermen

The northwest portion of the Bay of Bengal is under pressure, and there is still a chance of a storm developing there, according to the IMD. Because of this, winds in coastal areas and neighbouring states are still blowing at 45, 55, and 75 km/h.

A storm warning has been issued as a result of the ongoing rain. Fishing into coastal regions is prohibited by the Meteorological Department, particularly in West Bengal and Odisha.
