The Southwest Monsoon is expected to enter southern Telangana within 48 hours, with Hyderabad likely to receive monsoon rains by June 11–12. While IMD forecasts favourable conditions, experts remain cautious about rainfall distribution amid concerns over El Niño and the Bay of Bengal branch.
Ahead of the monsoon, officials have identified 202 waterlogging points within the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation limits. Measures including desilting, tree trimming, commuter alerts and drainage improvements are being undertaken to minimise traffic disruptions and rain-related problems in the IT corridor.
The southwest monsoon has advanced further into the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Andaman region, and is expected to reach Keralam around May 26. Meanwhile, Hyderabad and Telangana continue to experience intense heat, with isolated rain forecast in some districts.
Dry spell threatens early-sown crops, prompting officials to advise delaying further cultivation until substantial rains arrive. Paddy remains the main crop
