The Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has put residents on notice as temperatures are expected to rise significantly across Hyderabad and Telangana over the next three days. According to weather officials, heat wave conditions are likely to persist until June 13, with several districts expected to record temperatures above normal levels.
Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert Issued Across Telangana
The India Meteorological Department’s Hyderabad Centre has issued a yellow alert for all districts of Telangana due to the prevailing heat wave conditions. The Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert comes as weather experts predict a sharp increase in temperatures across the state.
Authorities have advised residents to take precautions while travelling outdoors, particularly during afternoon hours when temperatures are expected to peak.
Apart from the heat wave warning, the IMD has also forecast thunderstorms, lightning, squalls, and gusty winds in isolated areas. However, these weather activities are unlikely to bring major relief from the ongoing heat conditions.
Temperatures Continue to Rise Under Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert
According to data released by the Telangana Development Planning Society (TGDPS), Mancherial recorded the highest maximum temperature in Telangana at 43°C.
Within Hyderabad, Amberpet recorded the highest temperature at 39.9°C. With temperatures already nearing the 40°C mark, meteorologists expect the mercury to climb further over the coming days.
The Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert has been issued as dry northwesterly winds continue to affect weather patterns across Telangana.
Hyderabad Temperatures May Cross 40°C
Weather analyst T. Balaji stated that dry winds from northwestern India are contributing to rising temperatures in Telangana.
According to his forecast, Hyderabad temperatures are likely to cross 40°C, while eastern Telangana districts could record temperatures between 41°C and 43°C. In some northern districts, temperatures may touch 44°C.
The Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert is expected to remain in effect until June 13, depending on evolving weather conditions.
Rain and Thunderstorms Expected Despite Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert
Despite the heat wave warning, the IMD has predicted light to moderate rainfall in parts of Hyderabad and Telangana.
Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds may occur in isolated locations. Weather experts believe these rain spells could provide temporary relief during evening hours, but daytime temperatures are expected to remain high.
As a result, residents should not rely on rainfall alone and should continue following safety measures throughout the Hyderabad Heat Wave Alert period.
