Hyderabad Shivers as Temperatures Plunge to Record Lows, Cold Wave Grips Telangana
Hyderabad, India – Hyderabad residents awoke to an unseasonably cold morning on Friday as a sudden cold wave sent temperatures plummeting to levels not seen in early November in years. The University of Hyderabad in Serilingampally recorded a bone-chilling 8.8°C, with the chill felt throughout the city.
“This is a short-term spell, and temperatures will stay between 9 and 11 degrees Centigrade in the next couple of days,” stated Dr. K. Nagaratna, head of the Meteorological Centre. She warned that the outskirts of the city would experience even colder conditions.
Data from the Planning Development Society confirmed the widespread chill, with Ramachandrapuram recording 10.5°C, Rajendranagar 10.7°C, and Serilingampally 11°C. The cold front extended into northern Telangana, with Sangareddy hitting a low of 7.8°C and Asifabad dropping to 8.3°C.
Local weather experts are calling this “one of the strongest November cold waves in seven years,” drawing comparisons to the conditions of 2018. Some areas, like Dhulapally Forest Park, even registered temperatures as low as 5.4°C.
The cold wave is expected to persist for the next few days, with forecasters predicting temperatures in Hyderabad could dip even further. Residents are advised to prepare for continued chilly conditions, especially in the early mornings and late evenings.
