It looks like the hot steaming days of the summer season is right behind us with the cloudy conditions persisting in most parts of Telangana with slight rainfall. These ‘unusual’ weather conditions in May are likely to continue for another week and chances of extreme heat conditions returning are slim, according to weather forecasters at the Telangana State Development Planning Society (TSDPS) on Wednesday.
“After the heat waves in first week of May, we have had a cool down due to rains bringing the normal day temperatures by two to three degrees. Quite abnormally, the climate is continuing in the same manner and it is because of the easterly flow from the Bay of Bengal rather than the northern flow from North India where maximum temperatures have risen considerably,” said TSDPS weather forecast consultant Y. V. Rama Rao.
These cloudy conditions could also be the result of the El Nino (warming up of the Atlantic Ocean which affects the Indian monsoon) transitioning to neutral conditions leading to the average day temperatures falling to about 39° Celsius-40° Celsius instead of the 40° Celsius-45° Celsius range which usually is the climate during this time of the year with a few thunderstorms thrown in, he explained.
