Nor’wester Warning For Coastal & Western Odisha; Heatwave Likely After April 24

Bhubaneswar: Decrease in day temperature and rise in night temperature by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius has been forecast as a result of an anti-cyclone along the Andhra Pradesh-Tamil Nadu coast has favoured flow of moisture laden south-westerly wind from Andhra Pradesh towards Odisha.

However, the day temperature is likely to rise subsequently, state Sikshya ‘O’ Anusandhan’s Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) in its Thursday release.

The anti-cyclone and a cyclonic circulation over north Odisha could trigger severe ‘Kalbaisakhi’ (nor’wester) on Thursday night and Friday over coastal and western districts of the state leading to appreciable fall in day temperature.

The day temperature will remain below 40 degree Celsius in most places but a
sharp rise in temperature is anticipated from April 24 as these systems will
weaken and the upper air trough will move towards Bay of Bengal.

The mercury is expected to hover between 43 and 46 degrees C in most places of interior Odisha from April 28 while places along the coastal belt will register temperature above 40 degrees Celsius due to absence of sea breeze and flow
of hot wind into the state from north west India and Telangana. The dry hot spell may continue for about a week, the bulletin said.
