Hyderabad: Telangana is currently experiencing intense heat and humidity as the southwest monsoon, which arrived early this year, has temporarily stalled since May 29. This pause has led to soaring temperatures across the state, with Jagitial recording the highest at 41.9°C, followed closely by Suryapet (41.7°C), Nalgonda (41.6°C) and Khammam (41.5°C). Hyderabad registered a high of 39.7°C.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the advancement of the monsoon is likely to remain weak for at least the next seven days due to the absence of favorable meteorological conditions. “The advancement of southwest monsoon is likely to be weak for at least the next 7 days due to the absence of favorable meteorological conditions,” said an IMD scientist.
