Paralakhemundi had the highest maximum temperature of the day at 34.2°C, while Phulbani in South Odisha had the lowest minimum temperature of 13.0°C. The IMD reported a significant drop in low temperatures of nearly 4°C in various regions of South Coastal Odisha.

Day 1 (Today until tomorrow morning): Light rain is very likely at one or two places over the districts of South Odisha.
Day 2 to Day 7: Dry weather is expected to prevail across all districts of Odisha.
Residents should expect a gradual shift in nighttime temperatures. According to the IMD, there will be “no large change” in the minimum temperature during the following two days. However, a 2°C to 3°C drop is expected during the next three days, indicating the start of chilly nights.
