Hyderabad: The cold spell in Telangana will likely ease over the next few days as easterly winds begin to replace the cold northerly winds currently influencing the region, The Hindu reported.
The rest of winter will be relatively mild due to the impact of El Nino.
Senior weather consultant YV Rama Rao said that the minimum temperatures across the state are currently two or three degrees Celsius below normal.
Hyderabad and its surrounding areas have recorded night temperatures between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius, while districts are witnessing 14 to 19 degrees.
At the same time, maximum temperatures in the daytime have remained two or three degrees above normal, with Hyderabad recording 31 to 33 degrees and districts recording anywhere between 32 and 35 degrees.
With the onset of easterly winds, daytime temperatures will go back to near-normal levels due to increased moisture and cloud cover. The night temperatures will also rise slightly.
Rainfall prospects also remain low.
The last two cyclonic systems tracked away from Telangana only bringing rain to a few districts like Khammam, Bhadradri Kothagudem and Kumuram Bheem.
However, another weather system is expected to form around November 13, and if conditions remain favourable, it could bring light rain to parts of south Telangana on November 19 and 20.
On the 86 per cent rainfall deficit in October, Rao said that deficient October rainfall is becoming increasingly common and is not unique to 2026.
The northeast monsoon, which brings 11 cm of rainfall by December, has only contributed 3 cm so far. Cumulative rainfall across Telangana from June 1 to November 11 stood at 64.5 cm against the normal 83.9 cm, a shortfall of 23 per cent.
