A sudden Nor'wester storm hit Bhubaneswar on Saturday afternoon, bringing heavy rain, lightning, and hailstones. The storm caused significant disruption to daily life, with falling tree branches blocking roads and causing power outages. While it provided temporary relief from the intense heat, the weather office predicts that these pre-monsoon rains could accelerate the arrival of the monsoon in Odisha within the next 6 to 8 days. Citizens are advised to remain cautious of lightning. https://sambad.in/state/kalbaisakhi-storm-rain-thunderstorm-bhubaneswar-monsoon-likely-to-reach-odisha-soon-12008392 #creator program
