- India
With heatwave conditions continuing in Telangana, Nalgonda Wednesday sizzled with the highest maximum temperature of 45 degree Celsius. The India Meteorological Department said heatwave conditions are very likely to prevail over some parts of the state on May 9 and May 10.
It also warned that thunderstorm accompanied with gusty winds (40 to 50 kmph) and lightning are very likely to occur at isolated places over Telangana. Some parts of the state have been experiencing heatwave conditions for the past several days and many parts of the state have been reeling under scorching heat with the mercury crossing the 40 degree-mark.
Khammam recorded 44.8 degree Celsius Wednesday while Hyderabad registered 42.1. A senior Met Department official said in view of the persisting heatwave conditions, there is a chance that temperatures may touch 46.5-47 degree Celsius in May but the probability of the mercury touching 48 degrees is very less this year. Citing data over the past ten years, he said "the extreme values never exceeded 48 degree Celsius, though it crossed 47 degree Celsius and that too in some parts."
