Hyderabad, Mar 6 (Maxim News) : The Telangana heatwave alert has raised concern across the state as temperatures rise sharply in early March. The Hyderabad Meteorological Department issued a strong warning to the public. Officials urged people to stay indoors during peak heat hours.
Temperatures increased across many districts on Friday. As a result, the department issued a red alert for several regions. Khammam, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Mancherial, Adilabad, and Jagtial districts face the highest risk.
At present, temperatures in these districts range between 39°C and 41°C. The heat has intensified faster than expected this year. Therefore, officials warned that people should avoid going outdoors unless necessary.
Weather experts also said the Telangana heatwave alert may continue for a few more days. The hot weather pattern may last from March 7 to March 10. Strong hot winds may also blow across several districts. These winds can increase the risk of heatstroke. <center>Heatwave Conditions Intensify Across Telangana.
Hyderabad city also recorded unusually high temperatures for March. The maximum temperature reached 37°C to 38°C in recent days. Consequently, residents have struggled with severe heat for the past three days.
Normally, such intense heat appears in April or May. However, the early heat this year has worried many people. Farmers also fear possible crop damage. High heat during this stage can harm standing crops and reduce yield.
Experts also warned about falling groundwater levels. Long periods of dry heat often reduce underground water. Therefore, authorities asked people to use water carefully.
Meanwhile, officials advised people to stay indoors from 12 noon to 5 pm. Residents should go outside only for urgent work during these hours. Drinking plenty of water is also important.
Doctors advised people to protect themselves from dehydration. Elderly people, children, and pregnant women face higher risk during extreme heat. They should stay in cool places and drink fluids regularly.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely. They will release more updates if temperatures rise further. Until then, officials urged residents to follow all safety advice during the Telangana heatwave alert. (Maxim News)
