On the other hand, the mercury has been rising across Odisha with G Udayagiri recording the lowest minimum temperature of 7.6°C in the last 24 hours against 7°C on Saturday and 6.8°C on Friday.
In its monthly outlook for February, the MeT office indicated that the entire state will experience above-normal daytime temperatures this month. The probability of coastal districts being more affected is high. The day temperature is likely to hover around 35°C during the next five days.
