Bhubaneswar: Heat wave conditions are likely to abate in Odisha from tomorrow onwards, the Regional Meteorological Centre here predicted.

"Maximum temperature (day temperature) is very likely to fall gradually by 3 to 5 degree Celsius during the next 3 days and no large change thereafter at many places over the districts of Odisha. Consequently, heat wave conditions are likely to abate from districts of Odisha from tomorrow onwards," the Meteorological Centre forecasted.

On the other hand, Southwest Monsoon is likely to hit the state during the next 2-3 days.

"Conditions are favourable for further advance of Southwest Monsoon over some more parts of south Peninsular India, some parts of Odisha, some more parts of Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar and East Uttar Pradesh during next 2-3 days," the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
