Hyderabad: After overnight spells, Hyderabad to a large extent remained free of rains till evening, though the overall weather stayed overcast.

With the mercury dropping due to the continuing rains and cloudy skies, residents remained apprehensive of fresh showers and most preferred to stay indoors rather than venture out. Given the recent instances of waterlogged roads and traffic jams whenever it rained heavily, many avoided travelling to keep clear of traffic snarls.
