Hyderabad: Despite the Monsoon being active across Telangana, several districts witnessed a sharp rise in day temperatures on Sunday. According to the Telangana State Development Planning Society (TGDPS), Khammam, Suryapet, and Nalgonda districts recorded some of the highest temperatures, touching 38 Celsius to 40 Celsius.The temperature map showed that while northern districts like Nirmal, Nizamabad, and Adilabad remained relatively cooler, the southern and southeastern regions experienced intense heat. Parts of Khammam were among the hottest, with localised pockets nearing 38 Celsius.Officials attributed the rise in temperatures to a break in Monsoon activity and clear skies that led to direct surface heating. “This pattern is common when the Monsoon weakens temporarily. Clear skies push up daytime temperatures,” as per India Meteorological Department.During peak summer in May and early June, districts like Nalgonda and Khammam often see temperatures crossing 44 Celsius. While July is typically cooler due to rain, these brief heat spells became more frequent this season.Authorities advised residents to stay indoors during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Meteorologists expected rainfall activity to resume mid-week, which could bring some relief.
