Against the normal 45.4 mm, Hyderabad received only 22.3 mm rainfall with a departure of minus 51 per cent from August 4 to 10, states data available with the India Meteorological Department – Hyderabad (IMD-H).
From July 1 to August 10, Hyderabad however, recorded excess seasonal rainfall. The city received 516 mm of rain against a normal of 342.8 mm, IMD data shows.
Scattered rain caused temperature and humidity to slightly rise in the city. The humidity level recorded during morning hours on Wednesday was 77 per cent.
