Monsoon Retreats from Odisha as Dry Weather Sets In
IN · Published Oct 13, 2026
• The monsoon is retreating from Odisha, with dry weather conditions expected to dominate across the state in the coming days.
• Light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by gusty winds of 30–40 km/h, may still occur in isolated areas of coastal and northern districts, including Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Cuttack, Kendujhar, and Mayurbhanj.

Impact & Risks

The retreat of the monsoon and the transition to dry weather will reduce rainfall activity across Odisha, potentially impacting agricultural activities reliant on rain. Gusty winds of 30–40 km/h in coastal and northern districts may pose minor risks to outdoor activities and light structures. The weak low-pressure system forming over the southeast Bay of Bengal is not expected to significantly affect Odisha, minimising the risk of severe weather events in the region.
