The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted a noticeable rise in temperatures across Odisha starting from March 8, 2025.
This development comes as the state experiences a transition from the cooler winter months to the hotter summer season.
Residents are advised to brace for the impending heatwave, which may impact daily life and health. The IMD’s report highlights that temperatures are expected to climb steadily, reaching potentially record-breaking highs. This change in weather patterns is attributed to various climatic factors, including shifts in wind patterns and atmospheric pressure.
The Odisha government and local authorities have urged citizens to take the necessary precautions to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours. Measures are also being put in place to ensure the availability of adequate water supplies and medical assistance for those affected by the heat.
