In the districts, it has been in the range of 39-42 degree C, with a some places in North Telangana recording above normal temperatures on a slightly higher side.

“We have also been experiencing the Easterlies from the Bay of Bengal bringing in a lot of moisture and dominating the Northerlies. This climatic phenomenon coupled with the local heating of the atmosphere has been resulting in light rain and thunderstorms towards the evening, of late,” explained the senior weather forecaster.

Soon, these climatic conditions will change and the maximum temperatures are likely to reach up to 41 degree C or more in the twin cities. Whereas in the districts it will be a couple of notches more and hover around 42-43 degree C.
