Bhubaneswar: Amid ebbing cold wave conditions, Semiliguda in Koraput district remained the coldest place in Odisha for the third day in a row at 4.5 degree Celsius, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) informed on Tuesday.
After biting cold for two successive days, the state has been witnessing a slight change in the night temperature, which will gradually rise by 3-4 degrees Celsius during the next three days. Semiliguda had recorded the season’s lowest minimum temperature of 2 degree Celsius on Sunday and 3.7 degree Celsius the following day. There is no further cold wave warning for the state.
