After over a month of dry weather, several parts of Hyderabad and neighbouring areas received moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms on Friday evening, bringing relief from prevailing conditions. The showers, however, led to traffic congestion across key stretches of the city during peak evening hours, with Thorrur, Medipally and Hayathnagar recording the highest rainfall.
Freezing conditions persisted across the erstwhile Adilabad district on Monday, with Arli (T) in Bheempur mandal recording 7.9°C and Ginnedhari in Tiryani mandal logging 8.2°C. Dense fog affected movement on NH-44, while residents stayed indoors and farmers halted fieldwork.
Hyderabad and several Telangana districts witnessed severe cold-wave like conditions as minimum temperatures dropped to single digits, with Hyderabad recording 8.4°C. Many districts saw temperatures between 6°C and 10°C. IMD forecasts colder nights over the next two to three days across isolated pockets.
Moderate to heavy rainfall lashed Hyderabad and surrounding districts overnight, with Medchal-Malkajgiri recording the highest at 86.3 mm. Other areas, including Kukatpally and Shamshiguda, also received significant showers. Waterlogging occurred but daily life was largely unaffected on Independence Day.
After a month-long dry spell, the monsoon revived over Hyderabad and Telangana, bringing widespread moderate rainfall. The showers, triggered by a low-pressure area, offered relief from heat and are expected to support farming activities across the State.
While the thunderstorms led to a significant drop in temperatures, giving relief to people, the resultant chaos on the city roads tested the patience of Hyderabad residents
