Daringbadi, Nov 11 (UDN): Winter has begun to make its presence felt in Odisha’s popular hill destination Daringbadi, with a noticeable dip in night temperatures drawing tourists to the region.

The minimum temperature in Daringbadi has dropped to around 14°C, while several interior pockets are recording temperatures between 13°C and 14°C. These are reportedly the lowest temperatures recorded in the region so far this year.
Tourists visiting the hill station are enjoying the pleasant winter conditions, particularly the cold breeze and mist-covered mornings. Although the chill is not yet severe, the noticeable change in weather has brought a fresh winter feel to the area.
The cold spell is not limited to Daringbadi. Nearby locations, including Simanbadi, Dasingbadi, Sikar Maha, Brahmani village and Godapur, are also experiencing a drop in temperature, especially during the night and early morning hours.
Meanwhile, weather conditions over the Bay of Bengal are also drawing attention, with a fresh low-pressure area likely to develop around November 13.
According to the prevailing weather outlook, the system may gradually become more active, although its eventual movement and intensity will determine its impact on Odisha. At present, there is no clear indication of heavy rainfall or severe weather over the state due to this system.
The latest forecast suggests that dry weather is likely to prevail across most parts of Odisha over the next seven days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is monitoring the developing weather system, and further updates are expected as its position and intensity become clearer.
Meanwhile, there is little possibility of any significant change in minimum temperatures across Odisha over the next few days.
Interior and hilly regions are likely to continue experiencing relatively colder nights and foggy or misty conditions during the early morning hours. Daringbadi and adjoining areas may therefore remain attractive destinations for visitors looking to enjoy the onset of winter.
With temperatures falling and winter gradually setting in, Daringbadi is once again witnessing the seasonal charm that makes it one of Odisha’s favourite winter tourist destinations.
