Recent Earthquakes Near Hyderabad
Latest: M2.3 near 57km SW of Hyderabad, Telangana, India (3 Oct 2026, 1:27 PM)
- M2.3 · 57km SW of Hyderabad, Telangana, India3 Oct 2026, 1:27 PM
How is Hyderabad's AQI calculated?
The Air Quality Index combines PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, SO₂, CO and O₃ readings from CPCB-monitored stations into one 0–500 score, using whichever pollutant reads worst as the overall number rather than an average of all of them. Today the dominant pollutant driving that number in Hyderabad is CO. Hyderabad's current AQI of 450 falls in the "Severe" band (400+).
Is Hyderabad's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Hyderabad is at Severe today (AQI 450). Avoid all outdoor activity. This level affects even healthy people.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Hyderabad?
Petrol is ₹116.15/L, diesel ₹104.23/L, for Telangana (no city-level station for Hyderabad yet). Fuel prices are revised daily and can vary slightly by station. The base crude and refinery cost is the same nationwide - state VAT and cess are what make petrol cheaper or pricier just across a state line.
Why does Hyderabad's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Hyderabad's price tracks the same international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate as everywhere else in India.
Are banks open in Hyderabad today?
No - banks in Telangana are closed today (Sunday).
What is Rahu Kalam in Hyderabad today?
Rahu Kalam in Hyderabad today runs from 4:29 PM to 5:55 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Hyderabad's Weather and AQI?
Hyderabad is one of the world's largest hubs for generic pharmaceutical and bulk-drug manufacturing, alongside a major IT-services sector centered on HITEC City, with a metro population approaching 4 million. Pharmaceutical manufacturing runs on tightly controlled indoor environments, so the city's weather affects logistics and outdoor operations more than production itself - but the sheer scale of the industry means even minor disruptions to power or transport during extreme weather carry real cost.
Pharma and IT Industry Impact
Hyderabad's climate is comparatively moderate for a Deccan Plateau city, but summer heat still regularly affects outdoor logistics and construction schedules across its sprawling tech and pharma campuses. The city draws rainfall from both the southwest monsoon (Jun-Sep) and, to a lesser extent, the northeast monsoon, giving it a more evenly spread rainy season than cities further north. Track Hyderabad weather for logistics planning around monsoon transitions.
Seasonal Guide
Nov-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - The most comfortable and lowest-AQI stretch of the year.
Mar-May: Hot, Dry Summer - Highs regularly reach the low-to-mid 40s°C; outdoor construction work is most affected.
Jun-Sep: Southwest Monsoon - The main rainy season; check Hyderabad AQI as dust levels rise again once the rains taper off in autumn.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Telangana weather and AQI for how Hyderabad compares with other cities in the state.
