Telangana observed significant drop in minimum temperature during last 24 hours. Minimum temperature dropped across Telangana between 4 to 6 degrees. Minimum temperature of Hyderabad today is 12.8 degree whereas yesterday on January 7 it was 18.6 degrees a drop of 6 degrees in just 24 hours. Similarly, Nizamabad, Ramagundam, Hanamkonda, Medak, Adilabad and many other districts of Telangana witnessed a significant drop.
Reason of this sudden drop in temperatures can be attributed to change in wind direction. Humid easterly winds from Bay of Bengal were blowing over Telangana and there was cloud cover and isolated light rainfall. These weather parameters were not allowing temperatures to drop.
Easterly humid winds have been replaced by cold and dry northerly winds resulting in steep fall in temperatures. There may be further fall during next 2 to 3 days but now the drop in temperatures will be gradual. Single digit temperature cannot be ruled out over parts of Telangana now.
