The Southwest Monsoon arrives early in Telangana, prompting a heavy rain alert for the 4 days. Get the latest forecast, affected districts, and IMD updates on the early monsoon and heavy rainfall.
Hyderabad: The Southwest Monsoon has made an early entrance into Telangana State this Monday, May 26, 2025, nearly two weeks ahead of its usual schedule. This premature arrival is set to bring significant rainfall, with the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a heavy rain alert for the 4 days across various parts of the state, potentially lasting until Saturday, May 31.
Typically, the Southwest Monsoons arrive in Telangana between June 8 and June 10, fully encompassing the state by June 12 or June 14. This year, however, the monsoon is already active by May 26, 2025. The early and vigorous start to the monsoon season brings both relief from the preceding heat and potential challenges.

While the rain are crucial for agriculture and replenishing water reservoirs, the forecasted intensity also raises concerns about urban waterlogging and disruption to daily life. Noted weather tracker T Balaji indicated that the Southwest Monsoons are currently active in Southern parts of Telangana, including Gadwal, Mahabubnagar, Nagarkurnool, and Nalgonda.

The IMD-Hyderabad, in its Tuesday evening forecast, has issued specific warnings, escalating from heavy rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday to heavy to very heavy rainfall anticipated for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. This heavy rain alert, with issues forecasted for the 4 days as the monsoon arrives early in Telangana, underscores the need for heightened caution among residents.
Districts Under Alert for Heavy Rainfall
A significant number of districts are expected to bear the brunt of the intensified monsoon activity throughout the week. These include:
- Vikarabad
- Sangareddy
- Medak
- Kamareddy
- Mahabubnagar
- Nagarkurnool
- Wanaparthy

Temperature Outlook and Hyderabad Specifics
A silver lining to the heavy rain is the anticipated drop in temperatures. Throughout this week, maximum temperatures across all 33 districts of Telangana State are predicted to remain less than 30 degrees Celsius, offering considerable respite from the summer heat.
For the capital city, Hyderabad, the IMD-Hyderabad forecast until May 30 indicates:
- “Generally cloudy sky.”
- “Light to moderate rain/drizzle accompanied with gusty winds (30-40 kmph) very likely to occur.”
This suggests that while Hyderabad may not experience the ‘very heavy’ rainfall predicted for some other districts, residents should still expect consistent rain and blustery conditions.
