Severe heatwave conditions are likely to prevail in Odisha for the next four-five days, India Meteorological Department (IMD) DG Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said on Tuesday.
“The daytime temperature is likely to rise by 1-2 degrees Celsius in interior areas. Heatwave is unlikely in southern and coastal regions as a few places here may receive rainfall during the next five days,” he added.
According to the Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar, a few places in interior Odisha are likely to see a slight rise in temperature as the mercury is expected to soar by about 2 degrees Celsius due to northwesterly/westerly dry air at lower levels and high solar insolation.
Due to the incursion of southerly near-surface levels, the maximum temperature is likely to fall slightly by about 2 degrees Celsius in coastal Odisha during the next two days, it added.
