The dry period in Telangana and Hyderabad is thought to be a result of Cyclone Mocha, which has intensified into a severe cyclonic storm over the southeast corner of the Bay of Bengal and nearby areas.
The public is advised to remain hydrated, stay out of the sun’s direct beams, and take other essential precautions to protect themselves from the intense heat.
