It is going to be a long and difficult summer, with temperatures already hovering above 37° C across the State within the first week of March.
It is only going to get hotter and hotter till May-end, say meteorologists at the Telangana State Development Planning Society (TSDPS), who predict a high of around 40-41° C as early as the end of this week.
“The temperatures are now between 35° and 38° C in most places during the day, and these are going to touch 42°-44° by the end of this month. We will experience heatwaves throughout Telangana in the coming days which were not there in the last two years,” said TSDPS weather forecast consultant Y.V. Rama Rao.
