The grueling heat wave conditions that have thrown life out of gear in the state will continue in some districts of Odisha, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted on Saturday.
The IMD's regional centre in Bhubaneswar issued a press release predicting hot weather conditions in some parts of interior Odisha and also shared details about the ongoing moderate thunderstorm with lightning activity over some districts.
"Heat wave condition is very likely to prevail at isolated places over the districts of Bolangir, Boudh, Sonepur, Bargarh, Sambalpur, Jharsuguda on June 4 and over the districts of Bolangir, Boudh, Sonepur, Bargarh on June 5 and 6," the IMD said.
The weather office said there will be no large change in maximum temperature (day temperature) at many places over the districts of Odisha during next 4-5 days.
Here are other observations of the weather office:
