Districts in north Telangana, including Adilabad, Mancherial, Kumuram Bheem Asifabad, Jagtial, Peddapalli, Nirmal, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Mulugu, and Bhadradri Kothagudem, are expected to receive between 150 to 220 mm of rainfall in isolated pockets
Hyderabad: A fresh low-pressure system over eastern India is expected to bring widespread rainfall across Telangana over the next three days, with the northern and eastern districts likely to face heavy to very heavy showers, particularly on July 7 and 8.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for isolated downpours and warned of potential flooding in vulnerable areas.
According to independent weather tracker Balaji T, the low-pressure trough is likely to peak between Sunday and Monday.
Districts in north Telangana, including Adilabad, Mancherial, Kumuram Bheem Asifabad, Jagtial, Peddapalli, Nirmal, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Mulugu, and Bhadradri Kothagudem, are expected to receive between 150 to 220 mm of rainfall in isolated pockets. With already saturated soils in parts of the region, authorities are monitoring low-lying areas for possible waterlogging and flash floods.
The IMD Hyderabad, in its latest impact-based forecast, said thunderstorms with lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain are likely during the next 72 hours. Residents have been advised to stay indoors during intense spells and avoid travel through flooded roads or open areas during lightning activity.
In Hyderabad, short bursts of rain are expected through the weekend, with light to moderate light showers forecast on July 7 and 8. While the city is not under a heavy rainfall warning, the GHMC has begun deploying monsoon teams in flood-prone colonies and low-lying zones.
This spell is a sharp revival of the southwest monsoon in Telangana after a prolonged break in June. Weather officials say the current system could help narrow the rainfall deficit in the state and support sowing activity, but have urged district administrations to remain alert, especially in regions prone to stream overflows and rural flooding.
