Climate - Hyderabad (India)

The climate of Hyderabad is tropical, with a rainy season from June to October, due to the monsoon, and a dry season from November to May.
The city is located in south-central India, at 17 degrees north latitude and 550 meters (1,800 feet) above sea level. Hyderabad is the capital of the state of Telangana (born in 2014), and will also remain the capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh until the new capital under construction, Amaravati, is inaugurated.
Due to the distance from the sea, the rains are not abundant, moreover, the dry season is long, so the landscape is semi-arid. Before the monsoon the temperature rises, and in April and May, on the hottest days, it can reach 45 °C (113 °F). On the other hand, owing to the altitude, nights can be cool from November to March.
Hyderabad is in the path of tropical cyclones. Typically, cyclones occur from April to December, with two intensity peaks before and after the monsoon (from late April to early June and in October-November). Since we are far from the coast, the city is not hit by cyclones at full strength, however, they can bring heavy rainfall, which can lead to flooding, as happened in October 2020.

The average temperature of the coldest month (December) is of 22.2 °C (72.0 °F), that of the warmest month (May) is of 33.2 °C (91.7 °F). Here are the average temperatures.
