The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rainfall in Hyderabad over the next three days, accompanied by cloudy skies.

The IMD said that parts of South Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema are expected to receive heavy rainfall

Apart from Hyderabad, isolated showers are also expected to occur over several regions of Telangana

According to the IMD-H, these rains or thundershowers are expected to occur during the afternoon or evening hours.

An IMD forecast said that a cyclonic circulation lay over south Tamil Nadu and neighbouring areas which was likely to move west-north westwards towards southeast and adjoining east-central Arabian Sea during the next three days.

According to the data recorded until 8:30 AM on Thursday for the previous 24 hours, the cold spell has been most pronounced in certain areas, with Serilingampally leading the way in terms of frigid conditions.

The IMD said that the cyclone Hamoon lay centred at 11:30 am on Tuesday over the region near latitude 20.3degN and longitude 89.9degE, about 330 km east of Paradipc

No significant rainfall was recorded during the past 24 hours. The northeast monsoon, or winter monsoon, is likely to commence in the next three days, the IMD said

For Hyderabad, a city accustomed to the bountiful rains that typically grace the month of October, this year's dry spell is setting an unprecedented record. IMD's data dating back to 1991 reveals that October has consistently been a wet and rainy month for the city.

The India Meteorological Department has announced that the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from Telangana will result in a prolonged dry period across the region. Hyderabad is expected to remain rain-free as the monsoon withdraws

The IMD, employing probability models for long-range predictions, expects elevated maximum temperatures across the State, including Hyderabad.

The India Meteorological Department said that conditions are becoming favourable for further withdrawal of Southwest Monsoon from some more parts of northwest and adjoining western India during next 2-3 days

Since June 1, total rainfall in India has been 6 per cent lower at 805.3 mm against the normal of 853.4, IMD data showed.

A yellow alert has been issued for the city, indicating potentially moderate rain and thunderstorms, effective until September 30.

The Monsoon starts retreating from northwest India around September 17, withdrawing entirely by October 15

“Generally cloudy sky. Possibility of light rain or drizzle. Hazy weather prevail during morning hours,” said the press release issued for next four days.

After experiencing a respite, residents of Hyderabad found themselves sweating in sultry conditions as the day temperature soared to 30 degrees Celsius.

The weather forecast for Northwest India suggests the possibility of light to moderate rainfall and widespread thunderstorms, according to the meteorologist.

In an update on the weather front, the IMD-H, scientist Dr Sravani indicated that while light to moderate rains are likely to continue in Hyderabad for the next three days, a reduction in rainfall is anticipated thereafter

The Minister, who held a review meeting with Nizamabad officials at the collectorate, directed officials to take up relief works on a war footing and take measures to avoid untoward incidents
