The India Meteorological Department (IMD) regional centre in Bhubaneswar forecasts the likelihood of dense fog in several districts of Odisha over the next 48 hours due to the absence of a significant synoptic system in the region.
In its mid-day bulletin, the IMD reports that minimum temperatures have experienced a noticeable decline in certain places in South Interior Odisha, with no significant change elsewhere in the districts. Temperatures were appreciably below normal at one or two locations in Interior Odisha, below normal at one or two places, appreciably above normal at a few places in Coastal Odisha, and above normal at many places in Coastal Odisha and one or two places in Interior Odisha, while remaining normal elsewhere in the districts of Odisha.
Over the next 4 to 5 days, no substantial change in minimum (night) temperatures is expected in many places across the districts of Odisha. Paralakhemundi recorded the highest maximum temperature of 33.6°C, while Sundargarh and Phulbani in the plains of Odisha reported the lowest minimum temperature of 11.0°C.
