Bhubaneswar: The people of Odisha, who have been going out in the hot summer for 10 days in a row, will be exposed to the heat for another 10 days. It will burn more and more, it will burn in this fire. It was expected that there would be a change in the weather due to this monsoon. But except for some areas of South Odisha, there was no such rain in any other place. Odisha normally experiences 1 to 3 days of heat wave in April, but this time all the records have been broken.
In this April, the state has had 12 days of summer till date. The first phase of heatwave occurred on April 5th and 6th, and the second phase of heatwave is continuing from April 15th till now.
