Hyderabad: Just days after the southwest monsoon entered Telangana on Monday, the state is witnessing a fresh spell of intense heat, with dry northwesterly winds triggering heatwave conditions across several districts.
Temperature data on Thursday showed Mancherial recording the highest maximum temperature at 42.8 degrees Celsius, followed by Komuram Bheem at 42.7 degrees Celsius, Jayashankar Bhupalpally at 42.4 degrees Celsius, Peddapalli at 42.3 degrees Celsius, Adilabad at 42.2 degrees Celsius and Mulugu at 42.1 degrees Celsius. Hyderabad remained relatively cooler at 37 degrees Celsius, while Rangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri recorded 37.2 degrees Celsius and 37.5 degrees Celsius, respectively.
The India Meteorological Department has warned that heatwave conditions are very likely to prevail at isolated places in Adilabad, Komuram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Nirmal, Nizamabad, Jagtial, Karimnagar and Peddapalli districts over the next 24 hours.
However, the weather is expected to remain highly contrasting across the state, with heavy rainfall likely at isolated places in Mahabubabad, Warangal, Hanumakonda, Mahabubnagar and Nagarkurnool districts, while thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds of 40–50 kmph are expected across Hyderabad and several other districts, indicating unstable monsoon conditions despite the ongoing heatwave.
