Heat wave conditions however,would continue in Coastal Odisha till June 13 after which the temperature might decrease.
The conditions would support thundershowers and drag the monsoon current towards the land mass.
The cyclonic storm ‘Vayu’ stationed over east-central Arabian Sea, about 350 KM West-Southwest of Goa, is likely to cross South Gujarat coast in the early hours of June 13 after which it would weaken, the release said.
