IMD predicts rise in temp, humidity in several Odisha districts

Normal life in several parts of Odisha was adversely affected following a rise in the maximum temperature and humidity level on Thursday. Lack of rainfall activities triggered by Nor’westers is to be blamed for the unbearable heat and humid conditions in the State.

The IMD’s regional centre in Bhubaneswar today predicted that there will be no change as there will be a rise in the maximum temperature and humid conditions in the next three days.

As per the forecast, the maximum temperature is likely to rise by 2 to 3 degrees in several parts of the state in the next three days. People in coastal districts will also have to face problems due to humid conditions as well.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday said that the southwest monsoon has further advanced into some parts of Southwest Arabian Sea, more parts of Southeast Arabian Sea, Maldives and Comorin area and South Bay of Bengal.

As per the latest forecast, the conditions are favorable for further advance of Southwest Monsoon over some more parts of South Arabian Sea, entire Maldives and adjoining areas of Lakshadweep and some more parts of Comorin area during the next 48 hours. “The advance of monsoon over Kerala is being continuously monitored,” said IMD.
