Meanwhile, based on a weather forecast from IMD-New Delhi and independent weather trackers, including ‘Hyderabad Rain’ on X, there are chances of yet another low-pressure area (LPA) over the Bay of Bengal.

On Sunday, IMD-New Delhi said, “A low-pressure area is likely to form over the North Bay of Bengal within the next 24 hours. This system is expected to strengthen into a depression around September 26 and move in a west-northwest direction. It is likely to cause very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall over parts of central and peninsular India, including Telangana, from September 26-27 onwards.”

Weather trackers here pointed out that in case the LPA turns into a depression, there are chances of heavy to very heavy rainfall on September 26 and 27 in Telangana.
