The cyclonic circulation moving westward from Andaman will bring rainfall over Odisha and adjoining areas from late Friday or Saturday morning. However, winds will start to intensify preceding its approach.

A cyclonic circulation around Bangladesh will provide odd showers and thunderstorms over Northeastern India for the next few days.
