Bhubaneswar: There will be no respite from the severe heat wave conditions till June 14, when the state is likely to experience pre-monsoon showers.
According to the Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC), run by SOA Deemed to be University here, the south-west monsoon is expected to set in over Odisha on June 16 and cover the entire state by June 19 or 20.
Heat wave conditions would continue in coastal Odisha till June 12 and interior parts of the state till June 13 after which the temperature might dip. The conditions, however, would support thundershowers and drag the monsoon current towards the land mass, the CEC release further said.

The monsoon current might advance towards interior Karnataka, Telengana and Andhra Pradesh from June 14, the release said.
