Bhubaneswar: Odisha prepares for another period of rain. A new weather system is forming over the Bay of Bengal. This weather system will bring widespread rain to the state. The new rain arrives while many areas still hold floodwaters from previous storms. 
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) monitors the weather across the country. The IMD center in Bhubaneswar released a new weather forecast today. Officials predict light to moderate rain across many districts in Odisha. They also expect thunderstorms in several locations. This wet weather will continue throughout the entire week.
The weather agency issued specific alerts for different districts. They issued a Yellow Warning for today. This warning indicates heavy rain for Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Kalahandi, and Nabarangpur districts. The IMD also issued an Orange Warning. This warning applies specifically to Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj for August 24 and August 25. An Orange Warning means officials expect very heavy rainfall in those locations.
The state currently manages major floods. The overall water situation shows small improvements today. However, northern Odisha still handles serious water problems. The floods currently affect seven different districts. Official reports state that the floods impact more than 13.44 lakh people across the region.
Government teams took quick action to move people away from danger. Rescue workers evacuated nearly 4.87 lakh residents. They moved these residents from their flooded homes to safe government shelters. Balasore is one of the heavily affected districts. In Balasore, the water levels in the rivers are finally going down.
