A cold wave swept across Odisha on Wednesday, bringing biting winds and foggy mornings to several parts of the state.

The cold spell has tightened its hold on western and northern districts including Jharsuguda, Kandhamal, and Sundargarh, where temperatures have dropped sharply. Residents woke up to misty mornings and cold winds as winter conditions set in early this season.

Districts like Dhenkanal, Koraput, and Bhadrak may hover near 13°C. The cold wave is expected to persist for a few more days as dry winds from the north continue to sweep across Odisha.
