Odisha temperature update: Expect rise in mercury by 2 to 3 degrees; check district-wise forecast

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday predicted a rise in maximum temperature in Odisha. This is likely to compound the problems of the people in the state, as already there has been a sudden rise in the day temperature in different pockets for the last couple of days.

As per the latest IMD forecast, the maximum temperature is likely to rise by 2 to 3 degrees C during the next three days and no large change is expected thereafter. The only respite is the fact that there will be no major change in the minimum temperature during the same period and fall by 2 to 3 degrees in the subsequent two days.

Sources said that Sambalpur recorded a maximum temperature of 37 degrees, followed by 36.4 degrees in Jharsuguda and 36.2 degrees in Hirakud by 2:30 pm today.
