Hyderabad Weather Update: Telangana Sizzles at 44°C, Rain & Storm Relief Likely From April 20

Telangana continues to reel under severe heatwave conditions, with temperatures soaring between 41°C and 44°C across several districts. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Hyderabad, dry and extremely hot weather is expected to persist until April 20.

Residents across the state are advised to take precautions as daytime conditions remain harsh, with no immediate respite from the intense summer heat.

Rain, Thunderstorms Expected After April 20

The IMD has forecast a significant weather shift beginning April 20, with light to moderate rainfall and thundershowers likely in isolated parts of Telangana. This change may bring temporary relief from the prolonged heatwave.

However, authorities have also warned that the rain may be accompanied by:

• Thunderstorms
• Lightning
• Gusty winds reaching 30–40 kmph

Districts Under Thunderstorm Alert

The following districts have been placed on alert for sudden weather activity:

Adilabad, Komuram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Nirmal, Nizamabad, Jagtial, Rajanna Sircilla, Karimnagar, Khammam, Peddapalli, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Vikarabad, Sangareddy, Medak, and Kamareddy.

Advisory for Residents

People in affected districts are urged to remain cautious during the transition period, especially during evening hours when thunderstorms are more likely. Avoid open areas during lightning activity and secure loose outdoor items due to strong winds.

Outlook

Telangana remains under intense summer stress for now, but pre-monsoon activity from April 20 onward could gradually ease temperatures and improve conditions across the state.
