Hyderabad shivers as temperatures drop to 13.1°C; cold spell continues for fourth consecutive day
Telangana continued to experience unusually chilly weather for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday, November 12, with several parts of Hyderabad recording minimum temperatures between 13°C and 16°C. Rajendranagar emerged as the coldest location in the city, recording 13.1°C, followed closely by Moula Ali at 13.2°C
The persistent drop in nighttime temperatures has brought a noticeable winter chill across Hyderabad and its surrounding areas, particularly during the early morning hours. Several residential neighbourhoods on the city's outskirts recorded temperatures below 15°C, indicating that the cold conditions were not confined to any particular part of the metropolitan region.
According to the temperature readings shared for Thursday, Turkyamjal recorded 14.3°C, Devarayamjal 14.4°C, the University of Hyderabad area in Serilingampally 14.5°C and Patancheru 14.6°C. Alwal registered 14.8°C, while BHEL recorded 14.9°C.
Dulapally and Balapur recorded 15°C each, followed by West Marredpally at 15.1°C and Medchal at 15.3°C. Bahadurpura registered 15.8°C, while Kapra recorded 16.1°C, Karwan 16.2°C, Hayathnagar 16.3°C and Neredmet 16.4°C.
The readings indicate that several peripheral areas of Hyderabad experienced colder conditions than some of the more densely developed neighbourhoods. Such variations can be influenced by local geography, vegetation, urban development and differences in heat retention.
The continuing cold spell has brought an early taste of winter to Telangana, with residents experiencing noticeably cooler mornings and nights. The weather update also suggests that similar chilly conditions could persist across Hyderabad and parts of Telangana for another week.
The latest seven-day Hyderabad forecast also indicates continued cool nights and mornings, with citywide minimum temperatures generally around 16–18°C through November 18. Daytime temperatures, however, are expected to remain relatively warm at 30–31°C. Localised readings may fall below the citywide forecast, as Thursday's neighbourhood-level figures suggest.
The forecast points to predominantly dry weather, with little likelihood of rainfall during the period. Residents can therefore expect a noticeable contrast between chilly early mornings and warmer afternoons, as Hyderabad settles into its winter weather pattern.
