Hyderabad and its surrounding districts have been recording maximum temperatures above 40°C since the second week of April, according to daily weather reports from the Telangana Development Planning Society. The urban districts of Telangana, including Hyderabad, Medchal Malkajgiri, and Rangareddy, have been severely affected by the heat.

The temperature in Hyderabad dropped marginally to 40.7°C on May 7, providing some relief to the local population.

The heat has forced people to alter their daily routines, with many avoiding outdoor activities during the afternoon or trying to reach their destinations as quickly as possible.

The Telangana Development Planning Society will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates on the temperature trends in the region. The local authorities are expected to take measures to mitigate the impact of the heat on the population.
