HYDERABAD: As part of the ongoing severe heat wave conditions, temperatures are likely to rise up to 47 Degrees Celsius in East Telangana from Wednesday till June 10, 2023. T Balaji, popularly known as Telangana Weatherman, tweeted to this effect predicting the record temperatures in the eastern region of the state.

Due to severe heat, several districts in Telangana will also experience scattered intense storms during evening and night. Temperatures are likely to range between 44-47 Degrees Celsius in KB Asifabad, Jagityal, Mancherial, Peddapalli, Sircilla, Karimnagar, Bhupalpally, Mulugu, Mahabubabad, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Khammam, Suryapet and Nalgonda districts.

The Telangana Weatherman also said that the heat wave would be abated from these regions by June 14, 2023. Temperatures will reduce gradually and monsoon winds will be established. However, the rains won’t be very active even after the onset of southwest monsoon. “A strong cyclone is likely to spin up in Arabian Sea and ensembles indicating it will be a strong cyclone moving towards Oman, Iran and Pakistan. This will take away the bulk of moisture and therefore cause a very weak onset of monsoon in Telangana during June 14-17, 2023 and weak monsoon conditions will prevail at least till June 20, 2023,” he stated in one of his tweets.
