Temperature comes down
in many parts of State
IANS
HYDERABAD: After three weeks of
relentless heat, there is some respite finally for the people of
Andhra Pradesh. The temperature has come down by four to six
degrees Celsius in many parts of south coastal Andhra Pradesh and
the Telangana region where 1,317 people have died in the heat
wave.
But no fatality has been reported from any part of the state since
Saturday evening. The Hyderabad Meteorological Centre said the
heat wave was likely to abate as northwesterly winds blowing
through the state were overwhelmed by the monsoon that hit Kerala
on Sunday.
It has not ruled out pre-monsoon showers in some parts of the
state in the next two to three days. The monsoon is likely to hit
the state in a week. Some places in Chittoor district, including
the temple town of Tirupati, received two centimetres of rainfall
Sunday providing people much needed relief. Cold breeze is
sweeping through several areas, including the state capital, where
the temperature has come down to 40 degrees Celsius from 44
degrees a week ago.
The temperature in Vijayawada has also come down by three degrees
-- the city recorded a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius Sunday
and was the hottest place in the state.
