It is already too hot in Telangana. We are entering April and in some places, it is 40 degrees. The power consumption has gone up with people using ACs and coolers to reduce the humidity.
The heat on one side and the Corona on the other side are creating panic across the state. The doctors are advising people not to come out to the extent possible to avoid Corona.
Weather officials said districts, apart from Adilabad, Mancherial and Kumaram Bheem Asifabad, where the temperature is already in the 41 to 42-degree range, others like Karimnagar, Khammam and Nalgonda too could witness heat waves as summer peaks.
During the last 24 hours, the highest temperature of 41.4 degree Celsius was recorded at Allipur in Jagityal, with the forecast saying the temperature could cross 42 degree Celsius in the next three days.
IMD officials said that since Telangana was in the core heat wave zone of India, there was a possibility of heatwaves mostly in May.
A heatwave occurs when the departure of the maximum temperature from the normal is more than 4.5 degrees, which in other words is when the temperature crosses 45 degree Celsius.
