Bhubaneswar: Odisha is likely to witness light to moderate rain for four days from March 23, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday

The Met office further predicted a rise in temperature in the state after four to five days. It will be above normal by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the subsequent 4 to 5 days, it added.

According to the Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) of SOA, the day and night temperature across Odisha is likely to rise after March 25 with the mercury soaring to 44 degrees Celsius in some interior districts while hovering between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius in the coastal belt.

The prevailing temperature ranging between 39 and 41 degrees C in interior Odisha and 36 and 37 degrees C in coastal districts would continue till March 25. It is likely to cross 40 degrees Celsius and reach 44 degrees Celsius in the interior and western districts between March 28 and 31 due to strengthening of northwesterly dry hot wind flow towards the state, a CEC bulletin said.

The deep depression, which lay over east-central Bay of Bengal,  had crossed the Myanmar coast, it said, adding that an upper air north- south trough located over central India was moving eastwards and would reach northeast India and the north Bay of Bengal on March 26.

There is a probability of light to moderate thunderstorm accompanied by rain at one or two locations in the districts of Gajapati, Ganjam, Nayagarh, Balasore, Jajpur, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj and Jajpur between Tuesday and Saturday. But it would not abate the present heatwave like conditions in the state, the bulletin added.
