"telangana-rains"

With the current weather pattern of humid heat and intermittent rains expected to persist through next week, residents anxiously hope for more substantial showers to avoid slipping into a below-normal or deficient rainfall category.

Normal life was paralyzed as the rain continued to lash until late evening.

Weather experts noted that this blend of heat and humidity is typical for Hyderabad as September approaches.

The State capital receives "normal" rainfall on the average, despite the continuous drizzle in the twin cities. While some areas received excess, some got less rainfall, say met officials

The city recorded a maximum temperature at 27.8 degree Celsius on Tuesday. For the next two days, the maximum and minimum temperatures will be around 28 and 24 degree Celsius, respectively.

Though the district received relatively less rainfall compared to other districts in the State, the rains saved the crops that had started withering a week ago.

While the rains affected normal life by snapping connectivity to many villages, the showers breathed life into the waterfalls in the district.

Police have closed roads in some routes since there is a possibility of water overflowing across the road from dams.

While light rains are expected throughout the day, a brief intense downpour is anticipated in the evening

While Manala of Rajanna-Sircilla district received 84.5 mm of rainfall, Bornapalli in Huzurabad mandal received 66.5 mm of rainfall

Light to moderate downpour, which was recorded in almost all the regions of Hyderabad on Saturday, are unlikely to relent, as the city is expected to witness steady rainfall all through Sunday, the forecast indicated.

Though the thundershowers could bring much needed respite to the general public from the heat wave conditions that prevailed all over the State, farmers have had to pay a big price.

The forecast extends beyond Telangana, encompassing the entire nation, with expectations of an above-normal monsoon.

Telangana is on high alert, with heavy rainfall expected for the next two days.
