According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the year 2016 witnessed a similar onslaught of intense heat in March, making it the hottest in a decade.

On Wednesday, the maximum daytime temperature in Hyderabad was 40.5 degrees C, which was recorded at Adarsh Nagar, Medchal-Malkajgiri district.

The rain is under orange alert, but not fully alleviating the discomfort.

The weather department has raised a yellow alert for Nizamabad, Nirmal, Adilabad, Kumuram Bheem Asifabad, and Mancherial, cautioning residents about potential thunderstorms accompanied by lightning.

The alert has been extended to Hyderabad, Rangareddy, and Medchal Malkajgiri districts for March 19, with a similar forecast expected to persist in these regions until March 21.

Since the IMD was predicting rains for three more days, the farmers were worried that the untimely rains would cause a great loss to them.

The IMD predicts isolated light rainfall and a low heat wave probability, with cloudy skies and temperatures ranging between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius

According to IMD’s zone-wise forecast for Hyderabad, the city can expect a “generally cloudy sky” for the next three days, with a chance of scattered and light rainfall

According to Dr A Shravani, a scientist at IMD-Hyderabad, the next five days will witness a notable increase in temperatures across Hyderabad and even other parts of Telangana before returning to normal

The IMD reported an extended cold wave and fog in North India, with scientist Soma Sen anticipating minimal temperature change and persisting foggy mornings and cold wave conditions for at least two days.

Prompt response mechanism and not compromising with building bylaws are the most important lessons from Japan

The IMD predicts a departure from norms in Telangana for January, with no cold waves expected, above-normal minimum temperatures, and increased rainfall until March.

IMD said that cold day conditions are likely to continue over some parts of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and north Rajasthan on Saturday and Sunday

The satellite image taken at 1430 hrs (IST), showed a fog layer continuing over Punjab, Haryana, extreme north Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and northwest Madhya Pradesh

Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, especially during the early morning hours, due to the persistence of fog.

According to airport sources, the 50-meter visibility is considered zero visibility. There was a slight improvement in visibility at 8.30 am when visibility was 75 meters, but it again dropped to 50 meters

IMD-Hyderabad predicts that the trend is likely to continue in the coming days, with the average minimum temperature expected to hover between 13 and 16 degrees Celsius

Five southern Odisha districts - Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada, Gajapati, and Ganjam - were put on alert as the IMD issued Yellow Warning (be updated) of 7 cm to 11 cm rainfall on Monday and the intensity of rain (orange warning) is likely to increase in these areas on December 5.

It is likely to continue to move towards the west and northwest, intensify into a deep depression by December 2 and further into a cyclonic storm around December 3, the IMD said.

In the last 24 hours, the rainfall of 0.3 mm has been registered. The highest rainfall of 27.5 mm has been registered in Damaracherla in Nalgonda district.
