The IMD has a colour coded weather warning system. Red signifies ?warning? and demands necessary action by different agencies. Amber asks people to remain alert. The yellow code is for keeping a watch on the situation and the green code means "no warning".

The monsoon trough continues to remain active in the next three days, the MeT department said.

"A well-marked low pressure area lies over northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Odisha. The system is very likely to move westwards across central India, thereby enhancing the rainfall over Odisha, Chhattisgarh during next 48 hours and over Maharashtra on July 16 and 17," the IMD said.
