The city of Bhubaneswar, located in the state of Odisha, was once again hit by a scorching heatwave on Wednesday. With temperatures soaring over 43 degrees Celsius, this was the second day in a row that the state capital had to endure such intense heat. The evening bulletin released by the IMD's Regional Centre reported that Bhubaneswar and Nuapada each recorded a maximum temperature of 43.2 degrees Celsius, making them the hottest places in the state on that day.
This was not the first time that Bhubaneswar had experienced such high temperatures. On April 22, the city had recorded a maximum temperature of 43.8 degrees Celsius, earning it the title of the hottest place in Odisha for the day. But it wasn't just Bhubaneswar and Nuapada that were affected by the heatwave. Nine other places in the state also recorded temperatures of 42 degrees Celsius or higher. Jharsuguda, an industrial town, recorded a temperature of 43.1 degrees Celsius, followed by Baripada and Paralakhemundi, Chandbali, Bhadrak and Kendrapara, and Titilagarh, Jajpur and Dhenkanal.
The IMD has predicted that the maximum temperature in Odisha will continue to rise by 2-4 degrees Celsius over the next few days. This has caused concern among the residents of the state, as the heatwave shows no signs of abating. In fact, the weather office has issued an orange warning for a heatwave in the districts of Gajapati and Ganjam on April 25. Additionally, a yellow warning has been issued for several other districts, including Jharsuguda, Sundargarh, Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Angul, Nayagarh, Bolangir, Boudh, Nuapada, Kandhamal, Khurda, Cuttack, and Dhenkanal.
The situation in Odisha is a cause for concern, as the intense heatwave shows no signs of slowing down. The residents are advised to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the scorching temperatures. Meanwhile, the authorities are closely monitoring the situation and taking necessary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the people. Let us hope that the heatwave subsides soon and brings some relief to the people of Odisha.
