Cold wave tightens grip on Odisha; 6 places record temperature below 10 deg C

Winter has made a comeback to Odisha, but this time with a considerable severity, with the cold wave tightening its grip across the state. Dense fog and sharply falling temperatures have affected normal life from east to west, and north to south, with western and southern districts experiencing the coldest conditions.

Thick fog cover has reduced visibility during early hours, making morning movement difficult, particularly before 9 AM. Commuters reported inconvenience due to low visibility and biting cold winds.

According to official data, six locations in Odisha recorded temperatures below 10°C on Thursday. G. Udayagiri registered the lowest temperature at 7.4 degree Celsius, followed closely by Rourkela at 7.7 degree Celsius, Jharsuguda at 8.1 degree Celsius, Semiliguda at 8.6 degrees Celsius, Korei at 9.3 degrees Celsius, and Daringbadi at 9.5 degrees Celsius.

Meteorological officials predicted that the cold wave conditions may persist for the next few days. Residents, especially senior citizens and children, have been advised to take necessary precautions to avoid exposure to extreme cold.
