Weather presages hot summer for Hyderabad

The people experienced the highest temperature of 36.3 degrees for this time of the year in Hyderabad, which was 6 degrees above normal. This would mean the onset of the summer was already on in the city. The night temperature was however normal. This temperature is experienced only during the last week of February, but this season it is rather early. At least in the last 3 years, for this time of the year, 36.3 degrees is the highest. Normally, it is Shivratri that differentiates between the winter and the summer. However, even on Thursday, the early hours were fairly cool. With the winter registering 36.3 degrees in the day, can the summer be far behind?
