Watch the Video: Zero Visibility During Heavy Rainfall in Hyderabad

Hyderabad experienced an intense spell of rain on Friday evening following a bright and sunny day, catching many residents off guard. The downpour, which began around 5 p.m., caused significant waterlogging and heavy traffic jams, particularly in key areas like Panjagutta, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, Banjara Hills, and Mehdipatnam. The sudden shift in weather made commuting difficult as strong winds and thunderstorms accompanied the rainfall.

Despite the brief nature of the showers, their intensity left parts of the city drenched, and light rain continued intermittently throughout the evening. Earlier in the day, Hyderabad enjoyed clear skies, with temperatures ranging between 30°C and 32°C. However, the afternoon heat was quickly replaced by gathering clouds, culminating in the evening’s stormy weather.

Weather Warnings and Forecasts for Hyderabad and Telangana

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for several districts in Telangana, warning of moderate downpours until September 9. Hyderabad and surrounding regions are expected to follow a similar weather pattern, with light to moderate showers anticipated in the evenings over the next few days. Temperatures are expected to hover between 28°C and 30°C during this period.

Apart from Hyderabad, several districts in Telangana—Sangareddy, Mancherial, Medak, Wanaparthy, Jogulamba Gadwal, and Nalgonda—experienced heavy rain on Friday. More rain is forecasted for Saturday, with isolated areas in Adilabad, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Warangal, Hanamkonda, Khammam, and Mahabubabad expected to receive light to moderate showers.

Rainfall Surpasses Normal Levels Across State

The recent rains have pushed both Hyderabad and Telangana into the “excess rainfall” category, with the state receiving an average of 855.7 mm, which is 41% above the normal 608.7 mm. Hyderabad alone has recorded 677.9 mm of rainfall—38% higher than the usual 489.7 mm. Among city regions, Khairatabad saw the highest deviation, with 802.5 mm of rainfall, marking a 58% increase over the normal average of 508.2 mm.

This surge in rainfall, while providing much-needed relief from the summer heat, has also led to increased waterlogging and disruptions in day-to-day life across the city. With further rains expected, authorities and residents remain on alert for potential flooding and other challenges caused by the weather shift.
