Hyderabad: After a brief spell of relatively moderate temperatures supported by intermittent thunderstorms, Telangana is likely to enter a hotter phase from around April 10, with maximum temperatures expected to rise across several districts.
Weather observers indicate that North and East Telangana districts could see temperatures ranging between 41°C and 43°C, while Hyderabad may witness temperatures between 39°C and 41°C if dry weather conditions persist.
According to weather updates shared by independent forecaster Telangana Weatherman, the recent spell of thunderstorms helped keep temperatures under control, but a dry weather pattern is now expected to take over.
In the immediate short term, temperatures are expected to remain between 38°C and 40°C in northern and eastern parts of the state and between 37°C and 38°C in Hyderabad before the sharper rise expected after April 10.
Transition from thunderstorms to dry spell
Weather patterns over Telangana typically see such transitions during April as pre-monsoon thunderstorm activity gradually reduces and dry heat conditions begin to dominate.
Meteorological observers say that once cloud cover reduces and dry winds strengthen, day temperatures tend to rise quickly, especially in interior districts.
North Telangana districts such as Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar and surrounding regions usually experience higher temperatures compared to Hyderabad due to geographical conditions and lower urban moderation effects.
Urban heat impact
In Hyderabad, while temperatures may remain slightly lower than some interior districts, the heat impact can still be significant because of traffic exposure, construction activity and dense urban conditions.
Experts often note that heat stress in cities depends not only on temperature readings but also humidity levels, road exposure and time spent outdoors.
Advisory for public precautions
With temperatures expected to rise, citizens are generally advised to plan outdoor travel carefully during peak afternoon hours, especially between noon and 4 pm when heat intensity is highest.
Basic precautions typically recommended during heat wave periods include:
Avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours
Carrying drinking water while travelling
Using head protection such as caps or umbrellas
Ensuring adequate hydration
Avoiding leaving children or elderly persons inside parked vehicles
Health experts also advise special care for elderly persons, children and outdoor workers, who are usually more vulnerable to heat exhaustion.
Seasonal trend
April and May are typically the hottest months in Telangana before the southwest monsoon arrives. During this period, temperatures crossing 40°C are not uncommon in several districts.
Authorities usually begin heat preparedness measures during this period, including public advisories and coordination with health departments.
What to expect in coming days
Weather watchers say that much will depend on whether fresh thunderstorm activity develops later in the month. Occasional pre-monsoon activity can temporarily reduce temperatures, but sustained dry spells generally push temperatures higher.
If the current trend continues, Telangana could see typical peak summer conditions by mid-April.
Planning daily routines
With schools, offices and daily travel continuing despite the rising temperatures, people are expected to gradually adjust their routines, including shifting outdoor work to early morning or evening hours.
Authorities usually monitor such conditions closely and issue advisories if temperatures rise further.
For now, the expected temperature rise signals the beginning of the state’s summer heat phase, with citizens advised to remain cautious and prepared for typical April heat conditions.
