A severe cold wave is set to grip Telangana over the next few days, with meteorological authorities warning of a significant drop in temperatures across the state, including Hyderabad city.
Weather experts have issued an alert stating that the current cold wave conditions will intensify to severe intensity in the coming days. Night and morning temperatures are expected to plummet to single digits in various parts of the state.
Hyderabad is likely to experience particularly harsh conditions, with some areas potentially recording temperatures between 6-8°C during the peak cold period. The most intense cold is expected between December 10 and December 13, according to weather forecasts.
The next 4-5 days will witness an insane drop in temperatures across the capital city, marking one of the coldest spells this winter season. Residents are advised to brace themselves for significantly colder mornings and nights.
Authorities have urged citizens to take necessary precautions while traveling during night and morning hours. The cold wave conditions pose particular risks for vulnerable groups including children, elderly persons, and those with respiratory conditions.
The sudden temperature drop is attributed to cold northerly winds sweeping across the region. Multiple districts in Telangana are expected to experience similar cold wave conditions, with rural areas likely to record even lower temperatures than urban centers.
Residents are advised to wear warm clothing, especially during early morning and late evening hours. People who need to travel during these times should take extra care and ensure proper protection against the cold.
The cold wave is also expected to affect daily routines, with morning fog and mist likely to reduce visibility in several areas. Commuters are urged to exercise caution while driving during these conditions.
Health officials recommend staying indoors during peak cold hours and keeping homes adequately heated. Those working outdoors should take frequent warm breaks and protect themselves with appropriate winter clothing.
The weather department continues to monitor the situation closely and will issue updates as conditions develop. Citizens are advised to stay informed about weather conditions and follow safety guidelines during this severe cold wave period.
