Residents across Odisha have recently experienced cooler nights due to a notable drop in temperatures. This cooling effect comes after several days of light to moderate rainfall caused by ongoing thunderstorm activity. The rains have brought some relief from the usual heat, making evenings noticeably cooler.
What’s in Store for the Next Few Days?
According to the IMD, the minimum (night-time) temperature is expected to remain steady over the next four to five days. In other words, the cooler nights are likely to continue without any dramatic shifts in temperature.
