Summer cut short, monsoon on the horizon for Telangana
Summer has been cut short this year and the annual southwest monsoon could arrive as early as next week, bringing in isolated heavy rainfall throughout Telangana and Hyderabad capital region. Meteorologists at the Telangana Government Development Planning Society (TGDPS) informed that the region is already witnessing pre-monsoon showers and day temperatures have plummeted with the humidity being on the higher side due to the Easterlies from the Bay of Bengal. 'Rains could reach Telangana by next weekend unlike the usual June 7-8 schedule as this year's monsoon is expected to touch Kerala in the next few days probably in three to four days. We are likely to have a normal or above normal monsoon with El Nino phenomenon in a neutral condition,' explained senior weather consultant Y.V. Rama Rao on Wednesday. A low pressure area is found to be developing near the Arabian Sea and this could also help in the progress of the monsoon from Kerala towards the northwest direction, he said. The summer, this year, has been 'normal' with very few heat waves, as has been the case for the last five years. Due to the daytime heating, the region has also experienced thunderstorms during the evenings in the recent times, he pointed out. But, except for parts of north Telangana like Adilabad and other places where the maximum temperatures had reached upto 45 degree C in April-May, the trend has been of day temperatures being 3-4 degree C below the usual normal temperatures during the summer. Already, the day temperatures in the capital region has come down to 36 degree C and likely to fall further with the rains. During the summer this region saw temperatures reaching upto 42 degree C in some parts. In the districts too, the maximum temperatures have got reduced to 35-39 degree C in most places. The minimum or the night temperatures have been recording from 19-24 degree which is also few degrees below normal due to the cloud cover in most parts of the state. Usually the nigh temperatures creep upwards to 27 degree C during the summer, said Mr. Rao.
