Heat wave conditions in Odisha may persist for a week
to ten days as weather conditions were influenced by the prevailing climate over
Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Model products indicated that the maximum day temperature in north Odisha
varied between 43 to 45 degrees C while the temperature hovered between 41 and 43
degrees C in the southern districts . Meteorological systems were forming one after another over
Pakistan and Afghanistan leading to heavy rainfall there which influenced weather
conditions in India. The systems either remained stationary or moved slightly towards
the north western states of India.
Because of this, no major rain bearing system formed over central India and
eastern states leading to flow of dry north-westerly hot wind from the central plains
into eastern India, Odisha in particular. This explained the prolonged spell of heat
wave in Odisha .
The system persisting over Pakistan and its adjoining region at present could
move slowly towards eastern India and cause rain and thundershower in coastal and
nearby districts on May 1 which would lead to drop in temperature by 3 to 4 degrees,
and the heat might increase from May 4.
Bad weather causing heavy rainfall has been continuing in Pakistan for the last
15 to 20 days in areas known for extreme heat during the summer. Jacobabad in
Pakistan has a record of registering day temperature of 52.8 degrees C. The prevailing
weather in the neighbouring country has been impacting the flow of sea breeze from
the Bay of Bengal which was not getting stronger though anti-cyclone was persisting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
