Hotter Days Ahead For Odisha; These Districts Likely To Face Severe Heatwave Today
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of ‘heat wave’ in the State, heat wave condition very likely to prevail at one or two places over the districts of Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Sundargarh, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Deogarh, Angul, and Balasore, the Meteorological Centre predicted.
The maximum temperature (day temperature) is likely to rise further by 2°C to 5°C at many places in the state during the next three days owing to prevailing northwesterly/ westerly dry air and high solar insolation, the IMD said.
Due to prevailing northwesterly/ westerly dry air and high solar insolation, maximum temperature (Day Temperature) is very likely to rise further by 2°C during the next 2 days at many places over the districts of interior Odisha and no large change thereafter, the Meteorological Centre forecasted.
Consequently, maximum temperature (Day Temperature) is likely to be more than 40°C and likely to be above normal by 3 to 5°C at a few places over the districts of Odisha during the next 3 days, it added.
