Hyderabad: Showers of up to 83 mm were reported in many parts of the state, starting in the early hours on Saturday.
The untimely showers caused inundation in the low lying areas in the twin cities of Secunderabad and Hyderabad.
Frequent power cuts were reported in Marredpally, Vasavi Nagar, Dilsukhnagar, and Begumpet, among the other areas in the city.
This rainfall was attributed to low-intensity winds, and no significant tree falls were reported.
As per the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), such showers are anticipated to continue till June 11. “Thunderstorm accompanied with gusty winds (30 to 40 kmph) and lightning very likely to occur over isolated places in Telangana,” the IMD claimed.
As of Saturday, heatwave conditions prevailed in Adilabad district. The IMD has issued another heatwave warning — this is expected to occur in the northern parts of Telangana state on June 11.
The state recorded a maximum temperature of 44.8 degrees Celsius in Adilabad, while temperatures in the city dropped to 34 degrees Celsius — which happens to be 3 degrees below the normal temperature. However, it remained cloudy for most of the day.
