The mercury also dipped further in the twin cities in the last 24 hours. The temperature in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack plummeted by 2°C and 1.7°C and was recorded at 15.2°C and 14.5°C respectively.

A total of 18 places witnessed night temperatures below 15°C:

According to the IMD, this trend would continue for the next two days. “Change in wind pattern to northerly would influence the gradual drop in mercury. The mercury would drop below normal at some places,” IMD-Bhubaneswar senior scientist Umashankar Das said.
