Telangana is witnessing one of its harshest summer spells as extreme temperatures continue to grip large parts of the state. Authorities have warned that the coming four days will be critical, urging people to avoid unnecessary outdoor movement during peak afternoon hours.
The heat situation has become increasingly serious with 244 mandals reporting intense temperatures and heatwave conditions. Officials said at least 34 people have lost their lives due to heat related causes as scorching weather continues to affect daily life across the state.
The highest temperature of 46.5 degrees Celsius was recorded at Sirpur in Kumuram Bheem Asifabad district. Several other areas across Jagityal, Karimnagar, Mancherial, Nizamabad, Sircilla, Suryapet and other districts also reported temperatures ranging between 46.2 and 46.5 degrees Celsius, highlighting the widespread impact of the heatwave.
People are also facing discomfort during the night as temperatures are remaining unusually high even after sunset. Reduced moisture levels in the atmosphere have prevented cooling conditions, leading to persistent heat through late evening and nighttime hours. Cities including Hakimpet, Adilabad, Nizamabad, Hanumakonda and Hyderabad reported noticeable increases in night temperatures.
The impact of hot winds has been severe in many districts. Suryapet alone recorded heatwave conditions in 22 mandals while districts such as Mancherial, Khammam, Nizamabad, Jagityal and Nirmal also witnessed strong heatwave activity.
The weather department has issued red alerts for 18 districts and advised residents to remain cautious. Health officials recommended avoiding exposure between 11 in the morning and 4 in the evening. Doctors have also advised extra care for elderly people, pregnant women and children as prolonged exposure to extreme heat could create serious health risks.
