Telangana Braces for Rain-Induced Disruptions
IMD-Hyderabad has also issued a widespread 48-hour heavy rainfall warning in practically all the districts, especially the northern area, owing to enhanced moisture movement through the Bay of Bengal. Nizamabad, Adilabad, Karimnagar, Jagtial, Mancherial and urban and peri-urban zones like Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Rangareddy, Medak, Sangareddy, and Yadadri-Bhongir are expected to get moderate and heavy rain.
There will also be usual monsoonal action, thunderstorms, lightning and squalls in the region with conditions being particularly problematic in the low-lying and flood-prone areas. The IMD warns that there could be a high intensity of evening and nightly rainfall, which could lead to traffic jams and waterlogging in the city. It has encouraged farmers to look closely at crops that are vulnerable like paddy and cotton.
What’s Next and How to Stay Safe
As the two states are closely monitored, the government is urging its citizens to be on high alert:
You should never travel during heavy rainfall, particularly in places that are located at low levels and are likely to be affected by flash flooding.
Fisher men should remain out of the sea.
Stay alert for official advisories on school or office closures and public transport updates.
Since the monsoon systems are becoming stronger, residents have been asked to be careful as well as be ready in case of a sudden change of weather.
