Why cold wave persists in Telangana?
The IMD points to a familiar winter combination including dry air, clear skies and continental winds. The factors also prevent heat retention, leading to low night time temperatures.
The air mass has been unusually dry and when humidity is low, the atmosphere holds less water vapour, IMD Hyderabad said. With less water vapour to trap heat, the ground loses energy more efficiently after sunset. According to Meteorologists, the cold wave is related to dry winds blowing north and northeast and clear skies at night.
