Hyderabad: Hyderabad has a tropical wet and dry climate bordering on a hot semi-arid climate. May is the hottest month, but we see a very hot day yesterday in this season. People are alarmed to experience this hot day even before the summer has started.

Summer is slowly turning intense with temperatures in several parts of the State marching towards 40 degree Celsius mark.
