Bhubaneswar: Heat wave is likely to sweep most parts of Odisha in the next 72 hours.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday stated in its mid-day bulletin that some districts in south, north and western Odisha will experience rain and thundershower with gusty surface wind for three days till April 20 under the influence of a cyclonic circulation over Jharkhand and neighbourhood. At the same time, there will be a sharp rise in the day temperature by 2-3 degree Celsius from April 21.
According to well-known meteorologist Dr Surendranath Pasupalak, the blowing of hot wind from west across Odisha has blocked the wind blowing from the sea towards the coast. As a result, the day temperature in most parts of the state has gone up by 2-3 degree Celsius in the last 48 hours.
As the cyclonic circulation over Jharkhand and neighbourhood will weaken in the next 72 hours, there will be a further rise in day temperature by another 2-3 degree Celsius and can even go up to 43-44 degrees in some parts in the state. The condition will prevail for at least a week.
Meanwhile, the IMD has issued a three-day yellow warning for thunderstorm with lightning and gusty surface wind speed reaching 30-40 kmph at one or two places in these following districts.
