Temperature Crosses 45 Degree Celsius In 4 Places of Western Odisha; Sonepur Hottest

Bhubaneswar: The western region of Odisha remained the frying pan of the state as 5 stations in the region witnessed mercury going up to 45 degree Celsius or more on Saturday.

According to evening bulletin of the regional centre of India Meteorological Department (IMD) in Bhubaneswar, as many as 28 places in the state recorded maximum temperature of 40 degree Celsius or more on the day.

Sonepur was the hottest place in Odisha with a sizzling temperature of 45.7 degree Celsius, followed by Boudh with 45.5, Sambalpur 45.4, Hirakud 45.1 and Balangir 45 degree Celsius.

Maximum temperature is very likely to remain above normal by 4-7 degree Celsius at a few places in the state during the period.
