A Central Weather Committee official said that the absence of cloud cover has driven temperatures in Andhra Pradesh past 39°C.
The state of Andhra Pradesh is experiencing temperatures that have crossed the 39°C mark, officials said, as clear skies continue to dominate the region. A spokesperson from the Central Weather Committee (CWC) attributed the rise to a prolonged lack of cloud cover, which allows more solar radiation to reach the surface.
The CWC official emphasized that the current heat wave is a direct result of the prevailing atmospheric conditions rather than any sudden weather anomaly. Meteorologists are monitoring the situation closely to assess any further escalation.
Authorities have urged residents to take standard heat‑related precautions, such as staying hydrated, avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours, and seeking shade when possible, as the high temperature persists across the state.
