Students in Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana are finding it difficult to get to school because the state is currently experiencing a heat wave, with maximum temperatures reaching 45 degrees Celsius in many districts. Even in Hyderabad, the maximum temperature has exceeded 41 degrees Celsius on several occasions.
According to the Telangana State Development Planning Society, the city recorded a scorching temperature of 41.7 degrees Celsius yesterday. Extreme weather has made it increasingly difficult for students to travel to and from school.
Due to monsoon delays, Hyderabad and other districts in Telangana have been experiencing heat waves for the past few days.
Given that the monsoon season has been delayed, many states in India have taken proactive measures to protect students from the intense heat. Several schools have decided to extend their summer vacations in order to ensure the students’ safety and well-being.
