Bhubaneswar: Odisha Monday woke up to dense fog with several districts including twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, thereby affecting visibility and vehicular movement.
Visibility was reduced to as low as about 50 metres at some places. Moreover, moderate fog was witnessed in the morning over Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Koraput, Rayagada and parts of the Khurda district.
On the other hand, the Regional Meteorological Centre forecasted enhanced rainfall with thunderstorm and hailstorm activities over many districts of the state during the next four days starting January 11 till January 14.
Light to moderate rainfall activity is very likely to take place owing to an anticipated approaching western disturbance towards eastern India and strong moisture incursion from Bay Bengal, a bulletin said.
