The India Meteorological Department – Hyderabad issued a heatwave warning for the next two days in several parts of Telangana, including Hyderabad. The rising temperatures and hot winds are likely to make the days unbearable for people.

The IMD-H also predicts a partly cloudy sky on Saturday, with a possibility of thunder lightning development. This could bring some much-needed relief from scorching heat, albeit for a short period.

According to Telangana State Development Planning Society (TSDPS), some districts such as Adilabad, Mancherial, Peddapalli, Jagtial, and Vikarabad may receive scattered rainfall on Saturday. However, this is unlikely to bring down the temperature, which is expected to remain above 40 degrees Celsius in these regions.
