Talking to the media, duty officer of the Meteorological Centre, Bhubaneswar, Sudarshan Mishra said usually, the temperature in Bhubaneswar remains higher than places in interior Odisha in April. “Normally, the temperature in the capital city comes down after 3 pm due to the wind blowing from the sea towards the surface at 20-22 km per hour. But as this system has not set in, the temperature in the city has remained higher than average. Once the system sets in, the temperature will not rise to this extent,” he pointed out.
