Thu Jan 09 19:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Hyderabad Braces for Coldest January Night, Temperatures to Plunge to 5°C
**Hyderabad, India –** Hyderabad is bracing for its coldest night of January, with temperatures expected to plummet to a frigid 5°C in some areas by the early hours of January 9th. Weather enthusiast T Balaji predicts this will be the month’s coldest morning, with temperatures ranging from 5-7°C in North and West Telangana and 7-9°C in parts of Hyderabad.
Misty and hazy conditions are forecast across all six zones of the city throughout the morning. While the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) Hyderabad predicts a cloudy but rainless evening, with a maximum temperature of around 29°C and a minimum of 15°C, the significant drop in overnight temperatures is prompting health concerns.
Health experts are urging residents, particularly vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing conditions like diabetes and asthma, to take precautions. They advise against early morning walks for seniors, recommending warm clothing and caution against alcohol consumption, which can lower body temperature. The Telangana health department has also issued guidelines to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning from improperly used heating devices.
The IMD forecasts dry weather until January 15th, but the sharp temperature drop increases the risk of frostbite, hypothermia, and respiratory illnesses. Authorities are emphasizing the need for vigilance and immediate medical attention if symptoms of these conditions appear. While Hyderabad typically experiences milder winters, this cold snap serves as a reminder to prioritize health and safety during periods of extreme cold.
