Temperature dips in Orissa
March 26th, 2010 - 9:44 pm ICT by IANSBhubaneswar, March 26 (IANS) After reeling under a heat wave for more than a fortnight, Orissa residents had a welcome respite Friday as temperatures dropped appreciably, an official said.
“The mercury dropped by four to seven degrees in places other than in the western part of the state,” an official of the Bhubaneswar meteorological centre told IANS.
The maximum temperatures recorded Friday at Bhubaneswar, Sambalpur, Angul, Gopalpur and Paradip were 35.6, 35, 35.7, 29.7, and 30.9 degrees Celsius, respectively. Most of these places recorded temperatures exceeding 40 degrees during the past more than 15 days.
The temperature, however, continued to remain high in Bhabanipatna at 41.2 degrees Celsius and Cuttack and Bolangir — both at 38 degrees.
The heat wave warning issued by the meteorological department a fortnight ago has been lifted as the temperature has dropped in most parts of the state, the official said.
