The latest updates on the heavy rainfall forecast in Telangana. IMD Hyderabad issues a yellow alert for Adilabad, Nizamabad, and nearby districts.
Hyderabad, Telangana: The weather forecast for Telangana has taken a turn as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) Hyderabad predicts heavy rains in the coming 24 hours. Amid these forecasts, the chief secretary of Telangana, A Santhi Kumari, has issued an alert to collectors, urging them to be prepared for the impending weather changes. The state is poised to witness significant rainfall, particularly in isolated areas, creating the need for proactive measures and vigilance.
As the city of Hyderabad experienced cloudy skies throughout the day, the precipitation levels remained relatively light. Quthbullapur recorded 4.8 mm of rain, Alwal received 4.3 mm, and Trimulgherry reported 4 mm of rainfall. These intermittent showers were attributed to a low-pressure system originating in the Bay of Bengal, according to the IMD. This system is expected to gradually shift its focus towards the regions of Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The coming days are likely to witness further spells of light to moderate rainfall at isolated locations.
