The New Year started on a rather chilly note in erstwhile united Adilabad district on Tuesday what with a cold breeze blowing from the north all through the day.
The minimum temperatures have seen a steady fall since the last one week and the lowest of 2.5 degree C was recorded at Arli (T) in Bheempur mandal of Adilabad district, located close to the Penganga river on the district’s border with Maharashtra, on the last day of 2018. Urban places in Adilabad were no better as the minimum temperature recorded in Adilabad town was 3.1 degree C. Workers and labourers who were required to start work early in the day found it quite difficult to do so.
The average minimum temperature for Adilabad and Kumram Bheem Asifabad district recorded on Tuesday was 4 degree C while that for Mancherial was 5.5 degree C and it was 6 degree C for Nirmal. The days were rather hot as the maximum temperature recorded was above 30 degree C in all these districts.
