Weather update: AP, Telangana to witness strange weather with rain and heatwaves
The Telugu states are experiencing unusual weather patterns, with contrasting conditions of sunshine and rain. According to the Meteorological Centre, a weakened trough extending from south-central Maharashtra to north-interior Karnataka, Telangana, and coastal Andhra Pradesh has led to the prevailing weather. This has resulted in westerly and northwesterly winds affecting Telangana.
Today, residents across multiple districts in Telangana have been advised to prepare for light rain accompanied by gusty winds, reaching speeds of 30 to 40 km/h. Districts such as Adilabad, Komarambhim, Mancherial, Nirmal, Nizamabad, Jagtial, Rajanna Sircilla, Jayashankar Bhupalpalli, Mulugu, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, Rangareddy, Hyderabad, Medchal Malkajgiri, Vikarabad, Sangareddy, Medak, Kamareddy, Mahabubnagar, Nagar Kurnool, Wanaparthy, Narayanpet, Jogulamba, and Gadwal will be affected. Moreover, a slight increase in temperatures is expected over the next two days, with maximum temperatures in Khammam potentially reaching 41 degrees and a minimum of 36 degrees in Mahabubnagar.
In Andhra Pradesh, the Amaravati Meteorological Department has forecasted light to moderate rains across various districts over the next couple of days. The influence of a weather system dubbed 'Droni' is anticipated to bring rain to areas including Alluri Seetharamaraju, Kakinada, Prakasam, Palnadu, Anantapur, and Sri Satyasai on Sunday. Additionally, thunderstorms with lightning and strong winds, gusting at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h, are expected across the remaining districts, contributing to hot and humid conditions.
Amidst this tumultuous weather, maximum temperatures are likely to soar to 40-41 degrees. On Saturday, temperatures in the region peaked, with Kavali recording 41.1 degrees and Gannavaram at 41 degrees. Nellore reported 40.8 degrees, Bapatla 40.5 degrees, and Ongole 40.3 degrees.
