Weather bureau announces possibility of heatwaves before rain
This summer Telangana has suffered 20 days of heatwave conditions, six days less than last summer.
Hyderabad: The weather bureau has announced the possibility of heatwave conditions in the state and a severe heatwave over coastal Andhra Pradesh in the first week of June, before the monsoon sets in. The still air, clear skies and dry north-westerly winds indicate a heat wave is in the offing.
This summer Telangana has suffered 20 days of heatwave conditions, six days less than last summer.
AccuWeather, a private online weather portal, predicted sunny days from June 1 to 6. Their forecast for June is of mostly cloudy weather, cloudy weather with thunderstorms, and heavy showers during the morning hours.
“One of the important factors that facilitate a heat wave is a trough developing at sea. Currently, a trough from Odisha to South Tamil Nadu across coastal Andhra Pradesh persists, which is the reason for the heatwave warning. The heatwave may not be so severe over Telangana but it would be over coastal AP,” said IMD, Hyderabad, director Y. K. Reddy.
