Weather Forecast: Unseasonal Rains Lash Telangana, Heat Surges Across Andhra

Unseasonal weather patterns are shaping conditions across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh , with thunderstorms in some areas and intensifying heat in others, signalling an early transition toward summer.

In Telangana, unseasonal rains have brought scattered thunderstorms across several districts between February 23 and 25. Weather activity weakened late at night after the main spells passed, though isolated showers continued in pockets such as Bhupalapally, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Vikarabad and Nalgonda. Radar imagery indicated convective rain clusters around Hyderabad and adjoining Rangareddy areas, suggesting brief but intense downpours accompanied by lightning and gusty winds.

Hyderabad recorded cloudy, moisture-laden conditions with temperatures near 19°C and humidity around 94%, creating a rain-supportive atmosphere. While significant overnight rainfall is unlikely, light localized showers may persist. Forecasters indicate that the ongoing spell will taper after tomorrow, with scattered afternoon thunderstorms likely across south, east and central Telangana before dry conditions return.

The rainfall has been unevenly distributed. Districts including Hyderabad, Warangal, Khammam, Mulugu and Bhadradri Kothagudem are likely to see scattered moderate rains , while northern and southern districts such as Adilabad, Siddipet, Wanaparthy and Gadwal may experience only brief showers. Thunderstorm activity may bring sudden gusty winds, lightning and short heavy bursts, potentially causing temporary waterlogging and localized power disruptions.

As rain activity declines, temperatures are expected to rise gradually across Telangana, reinforcing early summer conditions.

Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh is witnessing a rapid rise in daytime temperatures. Nandigama recorded 37°C , followed by Kurnool at 36.5°C and Narsapuram at 36°C, indicating above-normal heat for late February. Anantapur touched 35°C, while Amaravati, Visakhapatnam and Tuni hovered around 34°C. Interior regions, particularly Rayalaseema and the Krishna basin, are heating faster due to dry air, clear skies and limited sea breeze influence.

Meteorologists warn that temperatures may reach 40°C in interior pockets by the end of February , especially in Kurnool, Nandyal and Anantapur districts. Coastal areas will remain relatively moderate but may experience discomfort due to humidity.

The contrasting weather unseasonal thunderstorms in Telangana and intensifying heat in Andhra Pradesh reflects shifting seasonal dynamics. With rainfall expected to subside and temperatures trending upward, both states are likely to experience dry, warmer conditions in the coming days, marking the early onset of summer across the region.
