The heavy rainfall poses significant risks, including waterlogging, flash floods, and disruptions in low-lying areas of Odisha. Residents in affected regions are at risk of being impacted by swollen rivers, inundated roads, and potential damage to infrastructure. Additionally, gusty winds and lightning are expected, which could endanger commuters, farmers, and outdoor workers. Other states, including Assam, Meghalaya, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh, are also likely to experience heavy rainfall, increasing the potential for localised flooding and travel disruptions.
