Winter has finally chilled Telangana on Monday. A minimum temperature of 11.1 degrees Celsius was recorded in Hyderabad, which is a good three degrees below normal. Consequently, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) office here has issued a cold-wave warning for the next 24 hours.
Monday night will be quite chilly and the same weather conditions will persist till Tuesday, she said. “The cold northerly winds will first lower
temperatures in the north-western part of Telangana. Our prediction is that the temperature in these parts will go down to anywhere between nine to 12 degrees Celsius.
In the city, however, the temperature recorded will be anywhere between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius,” Naga Ratna remarked.
However, the cold wave will not last more than 48 hours, meteorologists predict.
