A cold wave is sweeping through Adilabad district,
with people feeling the wintry chill acutely as the season’s lowest temperatures
were recorded in the last two days.
People remained confined to their houses, abstaining
from coming out early in the morning and evening.
Elderly people, who used to go on regular morning walks,
have stopped due to the cold weather conditions while others warned themselves before
the bonfire set up at the side of the road.
Yet others went about their chores, their heads well
protected which a cap and sweaters and shawls on the body.
Lowest temperature of 4.2 C was recorded on December
27, and there was nothing recroded as low as that until now.
The highest temperature in the day was recorded as
27.3 while 6.0 was the lowest temperature in the district on Friday. It has
been forecast that the temperatures may fall further in the forthcoming three
days. Low temperatures are being recorded in the forest
areas as opposed to the plains and towns in the district.
The cold weather is also causing health problems, especially
fevers, in the elderly and children, but it is attracting the tourists to the
beautiful places located in the forest areas and also Kadam project and Kuntala
waterfall and Kosai village in Talamadugu mandal, Kerameri ghats and also Kupti
and Nirmal ghats in the district.
The fog enveloping the forest areas early in the
morning is a sight for tourists to see, adding to the scenic beauty of these
places.
