The IMD forecast said there would be no relief from the excruciating heat in the next four-five days. The day temperature will remain above 40 degree Celsius or two-three degrees above normal at many interior parts of the state.
“Clear sky, dry air and high solar inclination are supporting the continuous rise in mercury level in the interior parts of the state,” said scientist and head of the regional IMD centre here HR Biswas.
However, thunderstorm and rain are likely to occur at isolated places in the state till 8.30 am on April 23.
