BHUBANESWAR: Residents of the capital city on Sunday sweltered in temperatures of over 43 degrees Celsius, almost five notches above normal, and the highest in the season so far. There seems to be no respite in sight with the Met office issuing a ‘yellow’ warning of heatwave in Boudh, Sonepur and Balangir districts on Monday.
The IMD said the sultry spell will continue in the coastal belt for the next few days, while the heat may become more oppressive in the interior pockets.
