The chances of drizzle, sporadic showers and cloudy skies are also likely in the districts.

The forecast looked at the likelihood of generally cloudy sky, mist or hazy conditions during mornings and likely light rain/drizzle.

Forecasting similar conditions state-wide, the IMD said the minimum temperatures are likely to be above normal by 20 degree Celsius to 40 degree Celsius during next 3 days.

Barring Adilabad, the minimum temperatures in rest of the State will hover between 15 degree Celsius and 20 degree Celsius, a far cry from last week when the minimum temperatures, even in some core areas of Hyderabad were in single digits.

According to amateur weather enthusiasts in Hyderabad, winter has been replaced with monsoon-like conditions because of a well marked low pressure system in Bay of Bengal and chances of widespread rains in coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh.
