Above normal temperatures expected across state this week

Hyderabad: The mercury crossed the 38° Celsius mark in north Telangana district, and 36°C in some areas in the city. Data from the Telangana Development Planning Society showed Karimnagar, Komuram Bheem and Peddapalli recorded the state’s highest temperature of 38.3°C. The city’s highest temperature on the same date last year was 37.1°C at Yakutpura SRT Colony. More concerning is that many districts have recorded maximum temperatures that are higher this year vis-à-vis last February. Weather scientists said that the combination of stable wind patterns and lingering heat from a prolonged warm February is contributing to the early onset of high temperatures.
