Telangana Heat Surge: Cold Wave Ends as Temps Jump 5 Degrees Above Normal

Cold wave conditions have ceased across Telangana, with temperatures rising significantly over the past 48 hours. Meteorologist A Srinivasa Rao attributes this warming to a shift in wind patterns from northeasterly to easterly and southeasterly directions. This change has led to moisture accumulation and partial cloud cover, raising nighttime temperatures by 4 to 5 degrees. For the coming week, temperatures in Hyderabad and the state are expected to remain normal to above normal.

Telangana records sharp rise in temperatures as cold wave conditions abate: Meteorologist A Srinivasa Rao

IMD reports a significant temperature rise across Telangana, ending cold wave conditions. Meteorologist A Srinivasa Rao explains the shift in wind patterns.

"Cold wave situation has abated in Telangana, and Temperatures have risen substantially... - A Srinivasa Rao"

Hyderabad, January 13

Cold wave conditions have ended across Telangana as recorded on Tuesday; temperatures surged across the state over the last 48 hours. According to the India Meteorological Department, most regions are experiencing weather two to five degrees warmer than usual for this time of year.

Meteorologist A Srinivasa Rao (IMD-B) said, "Temperatures across Telangana have risen significantly over the last few days, with most places now recording 2 to 5 degrees above normal. "Cold wave situation has abated in Telangana, and Temperatures have risen substantially over the last couple of days. Most places are now recording above-normal temperatures, ranging from 2 to 5 degrees.

"This is due to the wind pattern changing from northeasterly and northerly direction to easterly and southeastly direction. Night temperatures have risen by 4 to 5 degrees. Minimum temperatures are likely to remain around normal for the rest of the week. In the next 3 to 4 days, temperatures will be normal to above normal, minimum temperatures, and maximum temperatures will be around normal for the next 4 to 5 days in the city of Hyderabad", he added.

He explained that the rise in temperatures is due to a shift in wind patterns from the usual northeasterly and northerly directions to easterly and southeasterly winds, resulting in moisture accumulation and partial cloud cover across many parts of the state.

According to him, nighttime temperatures have increased by 4 to 5 degrees and are expected to continue, with minimum temperatures remaining near normal for the rest of the week.

Focusing on Hyderabad, Srinivasa Rao said "both the city and its outskirts are currently witnessing temperatures 3 to 4 degrees above normal". He further added that "for the next 3 to 4 days, temperatures in Hyderabad are likely to remain normal to above normal, while both minimum and maximum temperatures are expected to stay around normal for the next 4 to 5 days."

As a farmer's daughter from Nizamabad, this sudden warmth is worrying. Our winter crops need a certain chill. I hope this fluctuation doesn't affect the yield. The IMD should provide more detailed advisories for agriculture.

Living in Hyderabad for 3 years now. The weather here is always full of surprises! Went from pulling out my winter jacket to considering a fan in just 48 hours. The scientific explanation about wind patterns is quite interesting.

While the relief is welcome, we cannot ignore this is another sign of changing climate patterns. 2-5 degrees above normal in January is not typical. Authorities need to think long-term about urban planning and water resources.

Good news for morning walkers and chai at the stall is more enjoyable now! Hyderabad's weather is best when it's like this - not too cold, not too hot. Perfect for an evening at Hussain Sagar.

The IMD report is useful, but the article repeats the meteorologist's quote almost verbatim in two separate paragraphs. A little more concise editing would make it easier to read. The core info about wind direction change is key though.
