Geography of Hyderabad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The original city of Hyderabad was founded on the banks of river Musi. Now known as the historic "Old City", home to the Charminar and Mecca Masjid, it lies on the southern bank of the river. The city center saw a shift to the north of the river, with the construction of many government buildings and landmarks there, especially south of the Husain Sagar lake. The rapid growth of the city, along with the growth of Secunderabad and neighboring municipalities has resulted in a large and populous metropolitan area.

[edit] Climate

Hyderabad has a tropical wet and dry climate, with hot summers from March to June, the wet monsoon season from July to October and a mild, dry winter from November to February.
