Mahesh Palawat, vice-president of Meteorology and Climate Change at Skymet Weather, told TNIE, “Telangana will experience light rains due to low pressure in the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. There will be a marginal drop in temperatures in northern districts and a slight increase in the southern parts of the state until December 19. After that, northerly winds will bring colder days once the weather system subsides.

The state can expect minimum temperatures of 4-5°C, and mercury levels will remain on the lower side until the second week of January.” According to the IMD, over the next four days, the minimum temperatures in many places in the state will remain below 15°C.
