In the early days of January 2026, the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have been experiencing a chilly spell with nighttime temperatures dipping to single digits. The cold weather is attributed to the arrival of biting winds from North India, which has further intensified the drop in temperatures.
The frigid climate and dense fog have brought about significant disruptions to daily life across both states. Commuters are facing challenges navigating through the fog-laden roads, while businesses and schools have reported delays due to the adverse weather conditions. The Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway has been particularly affected, with numerous vehicles stranded due to poor visibility caused by the thick fog.
Meteorologists have forecasted that the intensity of the cold is expected to increase over the next two to three days, potentially causing further disruptions to daily routines and travel plans in the region. The people of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are urged to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the cold weather, especially during nighttime hours.
This year has seen a notable trend of extreme weather events across India, with several cities experiencing record-breaking low temperatures in recent months. As the country braces for winter’s icy grip, officials and citizens alike are preparing for possible additional disruptions due to the cold weather.
