Temperature Surge Across Telangana
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Hyderabad, and other weather experts, the state will experience a consistent increase in temperatures.

Meteorologists have also observed that early morning temperatures, which were previously cooler, are now stabilizing to normal levels, accompanied by a return of moisture-laden winds from the East.
