Bhubaneswar, June 5: Brace yourselves for an intense heatwave as the daytime temperatures in Odisha are expected to rise significantly in the coming days. Meteorologists predict extreme weather conditions, with certain districts witnessing temperatures soaring past 42°C after June 7.

Districts like Sundargarh, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Bargarh, Sonepur, Balangir, Deogarh, and Angul are expected to experience the most severe heatwave conditions, posing challenges for residents as scorching temperatures and gusty winds sweep across these areas.

Western and central Odisha could record peak temperatures between June 10 and 12, pushing heat levels to new highs. Interior Odisha, including Kendrapara, Cuttack, Khordha, Puri, and Jagatsinghpur, will also see a rise in temperature, with sweltering conditions gripping several locations.

However, relief might be on the horizon as meteorologists forecast the formation of a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal post-June 17, potentially bringing much-needed showers to the region. Until then, authorities advise residents to take necessary precautions, stay hydrated, and avoid prolonged exposure to the heat.
