Heatwave intensify in Telugu states. IMD warns of 2-3°C temperature rise in next 3 days.
Heatwaves are causing significant distress in the Telugu states as record-high temperatures sweep through the region. Several districts have reported temperatures surpassing 45 degrees Celsius, leading to intense heatwaves in many areas. The Hyderabad Meteorological Center forecasts that temperatures across the state could rise by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius above the current levels over the next three days.
The Weather Department has issued a yellow alert for several districts, including Kumrambheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Peddapalli, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Khammam, Nalgonda, and Suryapet. These regions will experience strong heatwaves over the next few days, necessitating heightened vigilance and preparedness.
In light of the forecasted extreme weather, the Weather Department has advised the public to avoid going outside between 11:00 AM and 4:30 PM, the hottest part of the day, and to take necessary precautions if they must venture outdoors. This includes wearing lightweight, light-colored clothing, staying hydrated with plenty of water, and seeking shade whenever possible.
Medical professionals also recommend consuming fruit juices and oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to prevent dehydration, which can occur quickly in such conditions. The current heatwave pattern is reminiscent of similar occurrences in 2015 and 2016, suggesting that the region is experiencing a cyclical return to these levels of extreme temperatures.
Additionally, the trough from the Gulf of Mannar through interior Tamil Nadu and Rayalaseema to southern Telangana remains at an altitude of 1.5 kilometers above mean sea level. This geographical factor contributes to the persistence of the heatwave.
Despite the ongoing heatwave, the Weather Department predicts some respite as light to moderate rainfall might occur in a few districts today and tomorrow. This precipitation could provide brief relief from the sweltering heat, but residents should still take precautions against the prevailing high temperatures and humidity.
