Explaining the sudden change in the weather conditions, well-known meteorologist and former director of the Meteorological Centre, Bhubaneswar Sarat Chandra Sahu said that the average maximum day temperature in Odisha in September usually remains at 32 degree Celsius. But as the monsoon trough has shifted towards the north, the rainfall in Odisha has subsided which has resulted in a sharp rise in the day temperature.

This apart, there will be rain and thundershower at some places due to the rise in the day temperature, he pointed out.
