“Due to northwesterly/ westerly dry air and high solar insolation, maximum temperature (day temperature) is very likely to rise further gradually by 2 to 3°C during the next 2 days at many places over the districts of Odisha. Consequently, maximum temperature (day temperature) is likely to be more than 40°C and likely to be above normal by 3 to 5°C at a few places over the districts of Odisha during the next four days,” the Meteorological Centre predicted.

People have been advised to take precautionary measure while going outside during day time between 11 am and 3 pm.
