Telangana Records 37.1°C, Thunderstorms Forecast From 15 October
Hanamkonda recorded 37.1°C on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, the highest temperature in Telangana, as unseasonal heat persisted across the state. Jagtial logged 36.9°C, while Komuram Bheem, Mancherial and Mahbubabad each recorded 36.8°C, according to the Telangana Development Planning Society (TGDPS). Hyderabad and Medchal-Malkajgiri reached 35.1°C. Within Hyderabad, Saroornagar and Moula Ali hit 35.3°C.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast thunderstorms and lightning across Telangana from 15 October to 19 October. Mahbubnagar may see rain or thunderstorms on 15 October, followed by one or two spells of thundershowers on 16 October. TGDPS’s three-day forecast indicates warm afternoons will continue, with Mancherial and Mulugu expected to reach 35°C on 15 October and Jogulamba Gadwal 35.6°C, before thunderstorms develop later in the week.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The forecast of thunderstorms from October 15 to 19 brings possible relief from the unusual October heat that pushed several districts past 37°C on 13 October. Hanamkonda's 37.1°C and Jagtial's 36.9°C are notably high for the post-monsoon season, indicating the delayed arrival of cooler conditions. The IMD's prediction covers five days of potential lightning and rain, which could ease the warm afternoons TGDPS projects through 15 October. The key date is 15 October, when Mahbubnagar may see the first thundershowers, and whether those arrive as forecast will determine if the heat breaks across the state.
