Hyderabad to face heatwave threat this April

As the sun blazes over Hyderabad, residents are gearing up for what meteorologists predict to be a scorching April and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) raising concerns about a looming heatwave.

Dr. A. Shravani, a scientist at IMD-Hyderabad, has issued a cautionary statement, highlighting the likelihood of temperatures rising sharply in the coming weeks. With daytime temperatures already touching a sweltering 40 degrees Celsius, Hyderabadis are bracing themselves for even hotter days ahead.

“There will be a rise in temperatures in the city in the first week of April, followed by a temporary drop in the second week due to expected thunderstorm activity. However, as we progress into the third and fourth weeks, temperatures are expected to surge once again,” Dr. Shravani stated.
