On Wednesday evening, it was raining cats and dogs across the city’s many neighbourhoods, with Ramachandrapuram receiving the heaviest downpour (7.6 cm).
Streets in several areas turned into lakes and cellars in apartments were flooded, damaging many vehicles.
Residential areas on the outskirts, especially those adjacent to lakes, continue to suffer because of severe water stagnation caused by heavy rains in the past few days
By 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Trimulgherry, Kukatpally, and BHEL had each recorded about 5 cm of rain, with Balanagar recording about 7 cm, Quthbullahpur about 6 cm, and Mothinagar about 5.7 cm.
Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a heavy rainfall spell likely to continue over parts of Tamilnadu and Telangana during the next 5 days and over Interior Karnataka during the next 2 days.
