Hyderabad is expected to witness another warm and humid day on May 16, 2026, with temperatures remaining high through the afternoon before weather conditions show signs of change later in the day. Forecast indications suggest partly cloudy skies for most of the day, while isolated rain activity and thunder development may occur during the evening hours.
The city continues to remain under intense summer conditions, with daytime heat creating uncomfortable conditions in several localities. However, weather patterns indicate that cloud build-up during the second half of the day could bring temporary relief to residents.
Hyderabad Temperature Forecast
Weather observations for the day indicate temperatures hovering around 35°C during the late morning hours, although the "feels like" temperature may touch nearly 40°C because of humidity and heat retention.
The expected temperature range for the day is:
- Maximum temperature: Around 38°C-40°C
- Minimum temperature: Around 26°C-30°C
- Humidity: Approximately 30%-59% during different periods of the day
- Wind speed: Around 5 kmph
- Air quality index: Around 90, categorised as satisfactory
Despite the heat, wind movement across the city is expected to remain light.
Rain Chances Expected During Evening Hours
The first half of the day is likely to remain mostly dry, with partly sunny conditions dominating Hyderabad's weather pattern.
However, changing atmospheric conditions may lead to cloud development later in the day. Weather indications suggest a possibility of rain around 4 pm, with isolated showers extending into the evening in some locations.
Thunder and lightning activity may also develop in scattered areas. While no major weather warning has been indicated, sudden weather changes remain possible during late afternoon and evening hours.
Residents travelling during evening peak hours may experience brief disruptions if localised showers become stronger.
Areas That May Witness Weather Changes
As weather systems affecting Hyderabad generally move across multiple urban and suburban zones, changing conditions may be noticed in:
- Central Hyderabad
- Secunderabad region
- HITEC City and Madhapur belt
- Gachibowli and Financial District areas
- Kukatpally and surrounding localities
- Uppal region
- LB Nagar zone
- Eastern and northern outskirts of the city
Rainfall, if it occurs, is expected to remain scattered rather than city-wide. This means some areas could receive brief showers while others may continue to remain dry.
Night Conditions To Turn Slightly Cooler
Weather conditions are expected to become relatively comfortable during the night. Temperatures could gradually drop toward 27°C-31°C after sunset.
Cloud cover may continue into late evening hours before skies become partly clear overnight.
Advisory For Residents
People stepping outdoors during afternoon hours should remain cautious because heat stress conditions may continue despite expected evening rain activity.
Residents are advised to:
- Stay hydrated throughout the day
- Avoid prolonged exposure during peak afternoon heat
- Carry umbrellas or rain protection while travelling in the evening
- Monitor traffic conditions if thunderstorms develop
Although rainfall may offer temporary relief from summer heat, Hyderabad is expected to continue experiencing generally warm weather conditions over the next few days.
