Hyderabad records hottest March day on record
India
Hyderabad saw a record-breaking 35°C on Sunday, March 1, 2026—the hottest March day on record. With clear skies, it actually felt closer to 38°C.
Forecasters say dry, hotter days are here to stay, with temperatures possibly reaching 37°C in the city and up to 40°C in some Telangana districts.
Health concerns due to heat
This early heatwave isn't just uncomfortable—it's raising health worries like dehydration and heat exhaustion, especially for kids, older people, and anyone working outside.
Doctors are urging everyone to stay hydrated and avoid direct sun between 11am and 4pm.
The city has set up water kiosks and cooling centers, but with air quality dipping (AQI at 145), it's smart to take extra care if you're out and about.
