Odisha Heatwave

After witnessing severe heatwave conditions in the state, schools and colleges in Odisha have been closed. Director General of India Meteorological Department (IMD), Mrutyunjay Mohapatra on Tuesday said there will be no respite from the prevailing extreme weather conditions for people in Odisha for the next five days.

The temperature is likely to rise by 3-5 degrees Celsius at many places in interior Odisha during the next three days due to northwesterly-westerly dry air and high solar insolation, the weather office said.
