Hyderabad may touch 44°C before fresh spell of rain The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted that Hyderabad could reach temperatures of up to 44°C before a fresh spell of rain arrives. Maximum temperatures are expected to rise by 2°C to 4°C over the next four days, with the heatwave likely to persist until May 15. Scattered showers are anticipated on Tuesday, but dry weather is projected to continue for the following two days. According to the IMD, wind speeds during this period could range from 30 kmph to 50 kmph. The onset of the southwest monsoon is becoming increasingly likely over the southern Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Sea, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands by the end of the week. This is expected to bring light to moderate rain, accompanied by thunderstorms, to parts of Telangana. In the Rayalaseema region, light rain with thunder and lightning activity is forecasted for May 14 and 15. Similar conditions were observed in parts of Telangana on Tuesday, though the IMD has not predicted widespread heavy rainfall in these areas at this time. Authorities have advised caution due to the ongoing risk of lightning strikes during thunderstorm activity. Hyderabad’s temperatures are expected to remain between 36°C and 40°C until May 14, after which they are projected to climb to between 41°C and 44°C on May 15. The IMD provided specific temperature readings for major towns in Telangana on Monday, including Ramagundam at 38.6°C, Adilabad at 39.8°C, Nizamabad at 39.6°C, Khammam at 38.8°C, Hanamkonda at 38°C, and Medak at 37.2°C. The IMD’s forecast also highlights the potential for the southwest monsoon to make landfall in the Andaman Sea, which could bring much-needed relief to parts of Telangana.#hyderabad #india_meteorological_department #telangana #southwest_monsoon #andaman_nicobar_islands
