The present situation of weather is due to dry winds that are sweeping across Telangana from Northern parts of the country.

The IMD-Hyderabad has also indicated that Hyderabad and other parts of the State will experience large diurnal variation in temperatures. As a result, there will be a significant temperature variation between daytime and nighttime temperatures in the coming days.

At present, the mercury levels during daytime are hovering around 37 degree Celsius in the capital and potentially can rise up to 40 degree Celsius in the districts. The nighttime temperatures, however, range from 18 degree Celsius to 20 degree Celsius, a substantial difference in day and night temperatures.
