Vijayawada: After enduring severe heatwave conditions through Sunday, the city experienced an unexpected spell of rain accompanied by gusty winds in the evening, providing temporary relief to residents after an intensely hot day.
Scorching Daytime Temperatures
The city recorded a high of approximately 44.5 degrees Celsius during the day. Scorching conditions and hot winds left several roads and public spaces unusually deserted, as residents largely stayed indoors to avoid the oppressive heat. Recent heatwave conditions had already reduced daytime movement across the city.
Sudden Weather Change in the Evening
Around 6:30 pm, the weather changed dramatically. Clouds gathered over parts of the city, followed by gusty winds and rainfall. This sudden shift brought down temperatures and transformed the atmosphere after hours of intense heat.
Impact of the Rain
The sudden downpour led to brief power disruptions in some localities, according to residents. However, no major damage was immediately reported. Weather officials had earlier forecast cloudy conditions and the possibility of rain, even as high daytime temperatures persisted across the region.
