The temperature in Hyderabad reached its lowest in 7 years. In many areas the mercury was recorded in single digits. Due to the cold wave in Telangana, the nights have become extremely cold. According to IMD, cold mornings will continue for the next few days.
Hyderabad Cold Wave: Friday morning in Hyderabad was one of the coldest mornings in the last several years. The temperature dropped so rapidly that mercury was recorded in single digits in many parts of the city. Meteorologists say that the biggest reason for this rapid drop in temperature is the cold winds blowing in Telangana and the clear night sky. Clear skies mean the ground’s heat is completely lost at night, causing temperatures to drop to record lows.
Why did the temperature suddenly drop rapidly at many places in the city?
Hyderabad has witnessed the coldest night this winter. At many places in the city, the temperature suddenly dropped so rapidly that such a minimum temperature had never been recorded in the last 7 years. As soon as people woke up in the morning, they were shocked by the strong cold wind, freezing temperatures and low temperature. The ongoing cold wave in Telangana has completely changed the weather of the capital Hyderabad. Now the question in everyone’s mind is whether the cold will fall further? Will the temperature go down further in the coming days?
