Dry weather is prevailing across the state with temperatures in the city touching 37°C. The highest maximum temperature of 37°C was recorded at Nellore, Ongole, Tirupati and Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh. These temperatures are 4-5°C above normal for this time of the year.
The temperatures have been above normal for Hyderabad, Nizamabad and Ramagundam in Telangana state as well.
Even though the country awaits the Northeast Monsoon and South Peninsula particularly looks forward to moderate rain showers, east coastal areas including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Rayalaseema are still experiencing high temperature which is an inherit feature of the transition period. The transition of Monsoon from Southwest to Northeast Monsoon generally increases the day temperature and drops the evening temperature, bringing some respite from the soaring heat experienced throughout the day.
However, the spell of high temperature is expected to end soon. According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, light to moderate rain and thundershowers would occur at a few places over coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema and Telangana in the next couple of days. Coupled with moderate humidity and night temperature remaining in mid 20s, the weather is anticipated to be fairly comfortable in the days to come.
