Cold wave likely from Mon: IMD

Bhubaneswar: A cold wave is likely to prevail in parts of the state from Monday evening for the next two-three days, the India Meteorological Department said on Friday.
“Night temperature is very likely to drop by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius gradually in the next three-four days. There is also a possibility of cold wave in selected districts next week,” said H R Biswas, scientist and head of the regional IMD centre in the city.
Shallow to moderate fog will also occur in some pockets for two days, he said. Such forecast for the start of 2022 came after the state witnessed certain abnormal or erratic behaviour in weather during 2021. Variations in monsoon rainfall, heat wave, cold wave or cyclones affected the state as well as some temperature records were set, senior meteorologists said. Biswas described the trend as “ exceptional or extreme event”. TNN
