The current sweltering heat conditions is only likely to increase in the coming days with the day temperatures likely to hit 45° C mark in the districts of Telangana and about 44° C within the Hyderabad capital region by the end of the month.
Meteorologists at the Telangana State Development Planning Society (TSDPS) informed on Friday that the current temperatures are easily two to three degrees more than the normal temperatures this time of the year. What used to be about 39°-41° C has jumped to 41°-43° C across the State.
“We have had relatively mild summers for the last few years but the maximum temperatures shoot up whenever the ‘El Nino’ — warming up of Pacific Ocean affecting climate across the world is at its peak like it happened in 2016-17 when the day temperatures reached record levels of 46°-48° C. We are experiencing a similar situation this year and this is just the beginning of the summer,” TSDPS weather forecast consultant Y. Rama Rao said on Friday.
