The highest maximum temperature in Telangana was recorded at Adilabad on Tuesday, 44.5 degrees Celsius. Hyderabad too witnessed the maximum temperature touching 42.5 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, which is expected to dip on Thursday due to thundershower activity to be witnessed in the second half of the week.
