Hyderabad: The weather across Hyderabad on May 4, 2026, is expected to bring a sharp contrast through the day, with extreme daytime heat followed by evening thunderstorms offering partial relief. According to updates aligned with the India Meteorological Department, the city will experience dry, hazy, and hot conditions during the first half of the day, before a shift in weather patterns later.
Temperature and Daytime Conditions
The city is likely to record a maximum temperature of around 41°C, while the minimum may hover near 28°C. Morning hours are expected to remain warm and slightly hazy, with sunlight intensifying rapidly by late morning. By afternoon, conditions will turn harsh and dry, increasing the risk of heat stress.
Wind speeds will stay relatively light, ranging between 4-6 km/h, offering little relief from the heat. Humidity levels are expected to remain moderate to low (around 35-40%), which may reduce stickiness but will make the heat feel sharper and more dehydrating.
Authorities have advised residents to avoid outdoor exposure during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and wear light clothing to minimise heat-related discomfort.
Thunderstorms and Weather Shift
A noticeable change is expected towards the evening and night, when parts of Hyderabad may receive light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. Wind speeds during this period could increase significantly, reaching 30-40 km/h, particularly in open and peripheral areas.
This shift is linked to broader weather activity across Telangana, where similar conditions are forecast in multiple districts. While rainfall in Hyderabad may remain scattered, it is expected to bring temporary cooling and improved air quality after a hot day.
Areas Likely to Be Affected
Within Hyderabad, the impact will be city-wide, though outer zones and open areas may experience stronger winds and more noticeable thunderstorm activity. Key regions that could see weather changes include:
- Secunderabad and central city zones - heat during the day, possible evening clouds
- Gachibowli, HITEC City, Madhapur - dry afternoon heat, followed by light showers
- Kukatpally, Miyapur, Bachupally - gusty winds and scattered rain later in the day
- LB Nagar, Dilsukhnagar, Uppal - evening thunder activity with brief showers
- Shamshabad and outskirts - higher chances of stronger winds and lightning due to open terrain
- State-Wide Outlook
Across Telangana, districts such as Mulugu, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Warangal, and Hanamkonda are under a yellow alert, with forecasts indicating light to moderate rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds (30-50 km/h).
Final Outlook
May 4 will be a two-phase weather day for Hyderabad, with intense summer heat dominating the daytime and localized thunderstorms bringing evening relief. While no prolonged rainfall is expected, the shift in conditions signals the gradual transition toward more unstable pre-monsoon weather patterns. Residents are advised to remain cautious during both heat and storm phases of the day.
