Intense heat wave scorches Odisha
May 10
Odisha continues to reel under intense heat wave and humid conditions. Some parts of western Odisha like Sambalpur, Sonepur and Jharsuguda sizzled as mercury shot up to 44 degree Celsius. Parts of central Odisha such as Angul, Talcher and Phulbani also recorded a rise in the day temperature.
The weather office, however, had words of relief as it predicted that temperature will start to drop from 12th of this month. Though the low pressure formed off Sri Lanka coast remained uncertain in view of a cyclonic storm brewing near equator, the trough along the east and southern coast could bring in showers and lead to a drop in the mercury.
While rain and thundershowers are likely to occur over some parts during the next 48 hours, the heat wave too will continue to prevail over some parts of interior Odisha. Hot and sweltering climate will be experienced over coastal districts of the State.
