The India Meteorological Department-Hyderabad attribute the change in the weather to be due to a shift in the direction of the wind.

In their forecast for the next few days, IMD-H informs that dry weather will prevail over Hyderabad, and the average maximum and minimum temperatures will remain around 34 degree Celsius and 20 degree Celsius, respectively.
