As a result, several districts are likely to experience cold conditions for some more days.

To know the plights of these homeless people, OTV visited several parts of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Balasore cities to get first-hand information.

With no respite from the cold wave, at least 16 places in Odisha registered sub-10 degree temperature.

Meteorologist Umashankar Das said that the winter chill that Odisha has been experiencing for the last several days will subside from Saturday, but most parts of the state will experience foggy conditions.

With biting cold conditions gripping most parts of the state and mercury dropping below 10 degrees Celsius at several places, the demand for winter garments has suddenly picked up. 

Odisha continues to reel under intense cold conditions with the mercury dropping below 10 degrees Celsius in 11 places, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Sunday.

As per the India Meteorological Department (IMD), G Udaygiri in Kandhamal recorded a minimum temperature of 9.4 degree Celsius on Monday. Kirei in Sundargarh also recorded a minimum temperature of 9.5 degrees.

The mercury dipped to below 20 degrees for the first time this October in Bhubaneswar while Cuttack recorded a minimum temperature of 20.2 degree Celsius. The residents of Koraput also welcomed the winter on the first day of Kartik month.

For the last four to five days, a relatively dip in the mercury in the mornings and nights is being recorded across the State with the day remaining hot. A slight increase in the day temperature has been recorded since Monday. 

As per the IMD, the minimum temperature is likely to fall by 2 to 3 degrees in East India after three days.

The weather bureau attributed the change in the weather condition in the State to weak northerly air and increase in the flow of sea wind.

The system is likely to trigger scattered to fairly widespread rainfall or snowfall over Western Himalayan Region during January 10 -13.
