People of Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts could get some respite from the scorching heat on June 11 after a gap of two weeks with cloudy weather bringing the much-needed relief. The temperatures came down significantly on Sunday enabling the people to come out of their homes.
The temperatures had crossed 40 degrees celsius in almost all towns of these two districts recently. It touched 44 degrees in the tribal areas of Parvatipuram. It was almost a curfew-like situation in Vizainagaram for the last few days with hardly any traffic on the busy roads such as MG Road, Ring Road, Nellimarla route and other places.
The temperatures came down significantly on Sunday morning. Due to the cloudy weather, people could go to markets including PW Market and Rythu Bazaars, located at R and B Junction, Dasannapeta and old Maharaja Hospital.
