Hyderabad: The state is experiencing an unusual weather pattern, with daytime temperatures soaring to an unseasonable 30°C, while nighttime lows drop into single digits.
For example, on Thursday night, Adilabad recorded a low of 5.8°C, while daytime temperatures nearly reached 32°C. Similarly, Kumaram Bheem Asifabad district saw temperatures dip to 7.3°C at night, but during the day, the mercury rose to nearly 28°C.
Hyderabad is also experiencing this strange trend. Areas such as Serilingampally, Rajendranagar, and Malkajgiri have seen temperatures dip below 10°C at night, while daytime highs exceeded 30°C.
Experts attribute this anomaly to a combination of factors, including the urban heat island effect. Arvind Kulkarni, a weather scientist, explained, “Urban areas, with limited greenery, tend to trap heat during the day, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect. At night, this trapped heat is released, but lack of vegetation worsens cooling process, leading to temperature swings.”
