There will be no major change in maximum temperature (Day Temperature) during the next 24 hours. However, the mercury is likely to gradually fall by 2-3°C during the subsequent 3 days, informed the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday.

As per IMD, the maximum temperature is expected to again rise by 2-3°C thereafter at many places over the district of Odisha. Currently, people in different parts of Odisha are experiencing intense heatwave conditions.

"Due to prevailing mainly Northwesterly/Westerly dry air and high solar insolation, the day temperature is very likely to be 40°C or above at many places over the districts of Odisha and likely to be above normal by 3 to 5°C over some districts of Odisha during next 24 hours," said IMD.
