The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast dry weather across the state over the next week, while a developing system over the Bay of Bengal was expected to intensify into a depression and could become a cyclonic storm by November 18.

In Hyderabad, Rajendranagar recorded 13.1°C and Moula Ali 13.2°C.

For Hyderabad, the IMD forecast partly cloudy skies with haze through November 18.

The minimum temperature is expected to rise gradually from around 16°C to 19°C by November 18, while the maximum temperature is likely to remain between 31°C and 32°C.

Morning haze is likely to continue.

Across Telangana, the IMD forecast dry weather over the next seven days, with minimum temperatures likely to remain two to three degrees below normal over the next two to three days.

The IMD said a low-pressure area was likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13, become a well-marked low around November 14 and intensify into a depression around November 15.

Its extended-range outlook indicates the possibility of further intensification into a cyclonic storm over the central parts of the south Bay of Bengal during November 19–25.

The system’s eventual path will determine whether Telangana receives rainfall or continues to experience dry weather.
