Bhubaneswar: With the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon, the day temperature (maximum temperature) has been soaring across Odisha for the last few days. Several places in the state recorded day temperatures around 35°C – 36°C causing discomfort.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the day temperatures across Odisha are likely to remain 3°C to 4°C above normal during the next five days. While there has been no rainfall in most areas across the state during the last few days, the heat has become unbearable. The presence of high moisture in the atmosphere has also caused high levels of humidity.
The heat continues in coastal Odisha as well. Dry weather is likely to prevail across Odisha and there is no possibility of rain in the state for the next 10 days.
In the last 24 hours, 19 cities in the state have recorded temperatures of 35 degrees or more. On the other hand, the Regional Meteorological Center has informed that the weather will be favorable for the complete departure of southwest monsoon air from Odisha within the next 2 days.
Meanwhile, the weather conditions remain favourable for the withdrawal of monsoon from Odisha, the IMD said.
