Updated on July 17, 2015 09:10 AM (IST): Weather in major cities of India during Eid
The sacred festival of Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Eid ul-Fitr, which signifies brotherhood, is just a day away. And with the comeback of clouds in most parts of North and Peninsular India, the Muslim community has certainly been a bit worried as celebration of their festival is subject to sighting of the moon.
Eid is expected to fall on Saturday this year, after the moon is sighted on Friday night.
Skymet brings you the weather conditions in major cities of India:
Weather in Hyderabad
Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated with much fervour in the city of Nizams, Hyderabad. We can already see the festive spirit in the bylanes of the Old City. People gather at the Mir Alam Tank, Secunderabad, Masab Tank, Madannapet and Golcondaidgahs for prayers.

Bangalore will observe partly cloudy weather during next 48 hours. Light rain is likely on July 19. Day temperature will be comfortable around 29°C, while minimum will settle close to 21°C.
