In late August, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert for six districts in Odisha, including Sundargarh and Sambalpur, due to heavy rainfall from a low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal. Forecasts indicated that while rainfall might briefly subside, intensity was expected to increase in regions such as Kendujhar and Mayurbhanj toward the end of the month.

By early September, the IMD issued a yellow warning for the state, predicting a week of unsettled weather. A new low-pressure area was expected to form over the Bay of Bengal by September 10, likely triggering increased precipitation. While initial conditions involved light to moderate rain and thunderstorms, heavy downpours were projected to escalate across Baleshwar, Mayurbhanj, and Kendujhar starting September 9.
