Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast a wet spell from Wednesday even as villages in several districts remained affected by floods, officials said.
The IMD said the rain spell will begin on August 5 and continue till August 10.
The IMD said heavy rainfall may also occur at one or two places in Sundaragada, Sambalpur, Kendujhar, Nuapada, Kalahandi, Kandhamala, Nabarangpur, Rayagada, Koraput, Malkangiri, Gajapati, Ganjam and Nayagada districts.
“However, one cannot say what will happen next week as the IMD has forecast another spell of rain across the State,” a senior official at the Water Resources department said.
The dam authorities are closely monitoring the situation and the discharge is being regulated based on the inflow and downstream rain conditions.
