Several parts of Odisha are currently experiencing intense heatwave conditions. Apart from heatwave, humid conditions have also compounded miseries of people in several parts of the state.
No respite seems to be on cards as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday issued an ‘orange and yellow’ warning for heatwave in different districts of Odisha. The capital city of Bhubaneswar recorded 44.4 degree Celsius by 2:30 pm today. Jharsuguda town was the hottest place in the state as the maximum temperature shot up to 44.6 degrees by 2:30 pm today.
As per IMD, there will not be any large change in the maximum temperature (Day temperature) during next four days and slight fall in temperature is likely to occur thereafter at many places over the districts of Odisha.
“The maximum temperature is very likely to be above normal by 4 - 7 degree C at a few places over the districts of Odisha during next four days. Consequently hot and discomfort weather is likely to prevail during next 4-5 days,” said IMD in its bulletin.
