In Hyderabad city, the sky is expected to remain partly cloudy during the day. Officials indicated that light to moderate rainfall may occur during the evening or night hours.

Despite the forecast of rainfall, heat conditions continue to persist across the state. On Friday (March 27), Hyderabad recorded high temperatures reaching up to 39 degrees Celsius in several areas.
Residents have been experiencing intense heat from early morning hours, with peak conditions observed by afternoon. The rising temperatures have forced people to stay indoors and rely on cooling systems.
Advisory on Heat and Weather Changes
The Meteorological Department has cautioned that heat intensity may increase further in the coming days. Along with high temperatures, there is also a possibility of hot winds in some areas.
People have been advised to remain alert due to the combined impact of heatwave conditions and sudden weather changes, including thunderstorms and gusty winds.
Context: Seasonal Transition Brings Mixed Conditions
Weather patterns during this period often bring a mix of high temperatures and pre-monsoon showers. Such fluctuations can lead to sudden changes in local conditions, especially during evening hours.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation and issue alerts to minimise risks associated with lightning, strong winds, and extreme heat.
