Bhubaneswar: Severe heatwave conditions prevailed in several districts of the state Tuesday and Bhubaneswar turned into a boiling cauldron as the day temperature soared to 41.8°C by 2:30 pm, the regional Met centre here said.
Due to prevailing mainly Northwesterly/Westerly dry air and high solar insolation day temperatures are very likely to be 40°C or above at many places over the districts of interior Odisha and likely to be above normal by 3 to 5°C over some districts of Odisha during next 2 days, the IMD said in a special bulletin.
However, Due to the likely interaction of the middle tropospheric westerly trough with lower-level moist air from the Bay of Bengal, Meteorological conditions will become favourable for moderate thunderstorm activity with lightning and Isolated rainfall over the districts of Odisha within the next 2 days, the IMD added.
There will be no large change in Maximum temperature (Day Temperature) during the next 24 hours at many places over the districts of Odisha and a slight fall by 2-3°C thereafter, the IMD said.
