Hyderabad is set to experience a maximum temperature of 42°C today, with no chance of rain. Meanwhile, several regions in India are under weather alerts for thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts that Hyderabad will have a wind speed of about 15 kmph and a humidity level of 19%. This combination of heat and humidity could lead to discomfort for residents.
In contrast, the maximum temperature in Jaisalmer has reached a staggering 44.4°C. Jammu and Kashmir, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh are currently on IMD’s orange alert due to expected severe weather conditions.
Key weather forecasts:
- Hyderabad: Maximum temperature of 42°C, wind speed at 15 kmph, and 19% humidity.
- Jaisalmer: Maximum temperature reached 44.4°C.
- Orange alerts issued for Jammu and Kashmir, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh.
The IMD also forecasts a gradual fall in maximum temperatures over Northwest India by 2-3°C until May 5. This could provide some relief from the current heat wave alert affecting Hyderabad.
Additionally, scattered light to moderate rainfall is likely over Punjab from May 3 to May 6. A thundersquall with wind speeds between 50-60 kmph is also expected over West Bengal and Sikkim on May 4 and May 5.
As IPL 2026 progresses, the impact of this extreme weather could influence player performances and match conditions at venues like the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will need to adapt quickly amidst these challenging weather conditions.
