Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday issued a two-day cold wave warning for seven districts of Odisha.
The duty officer of the Meteorological Centre, Bhubaneswar, Kundan Murmu, informed that light to moderate rain or thundershowers will very likely occur at a few places in Gajapati, Ganjam, Rayagada, Malkangiri, Koraput and Kandhamal districts and at one or two places in Nabarangpur, Kalahandi, Nayagarh, Puri, Khurda, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, Bhadrak, Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts on Sunday under the influence of a cyclonic circulation over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and neighbourhood.
“However, as the cyclonic circulation will be weakened by this (Sunday) afternoon, there will be a drastic fall in the night temperature by about 4 degree Celsius in the western and north coastal districts. As a result, the IMD has issued cold wave warning for the districts of Angul, Sonepur, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj and Balasore on Sunday and in Angul, Sundargarh, Balangir, Balasore and Mayurbhanj on Monday,” Murmu said.
He further said that the IMD has also issued a two-day dense fog warning at one or two places over the districts of Sundargarh, Sonepur, Balangir, Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Angul, Dhenkanal, Bhadrak and Cuttack on Monday and Balangir, Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Rayagada and Koraput on Tuesday.
