The Southwest Monsoon is most likely to start withdrawing from Odisha in the next two to three days in case of delayed monsoon retreat in the coastal State, according to the Bhubaneswar regional centre of the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

“Conditions are becoming favourable for further withdrawal of southwest monsoon from some more parts of Gujarat, Chhattisgarh; most parts of Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar; some parts of Maharashtra, Odisha and West Bengal during next 2 to 3 days, the Met Department added.
