Hyderabad: The winter chill has tightened its grip across the country, with temperatures dropping sharply to single digits in several regions. After weeks of erratic weather marked by heavy rains and bursts of sunshine, a sudden cold wave has swept through many areas, leaving people struggling to cope with the change.
In the Telugu states, the dip in temperature over the past two to three days has been particularly noticeable. The evenings and early mornings have turned bitterly cold, with residents preferring to stay indoors. Thick fog and cloudy skies have also reduced visibility, especially until 10 a.m., keeping streets unusually quiet during the early hours.
