Bhubaneswar, which recorded 46.6 degree Celsius yesterday got little relief today when the temperature dipped by one degree to 45.6 degree Celsius.
The state capital was followed by Talcher (45.1 dc), Chandbali (45 dc), Sambalpur (44.7 dc), Hikarud (44.5 dc), Angul (44.3 dc) and Bhawanipatna (44.2 dc).
There is no respite in sight from the gruelling heat as the heatwave conditions will continue for the next 24 hours in most parts of the state where at least 30 people have died due to sun-stroke so far this summer, sources said.
