The India Meteorological Department (IMD) Hyderabad has issued a yellow alert across multiple Telangana districts, warning of thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds until October 22. The city is expected to experience intermittent rainfall over the next three days, according to the IMD’s latest forecast. While the department has not confirmed any cyclone formation, the persistent cloud activity and fluctuating wind patterns over the Bay of Bengal have sparked concern among weather enthusiasts and residents alike.

Adding to the speculation, an independent weather forecaster, known for accurate predictions, claimed a possible “depression or cyclone” formation between October 23 and 26. He outlined three potential tracks — one moving towards Chennai and Bengaluru, another through South Telangana and Hyderabad, and a third that may recurve along the east coast. This prediction has triggered discussions online, though the IMD maintains that no official cyclone alert has been issued yet. Officials have advised citizens to stay updated through verified channels rather than relying on social media forecasts.

Meanwhile, Hyderabad residents have been cautioned to plan travel and outdoor activities carefully as scattered showers are expected to continue. Meteorologists anticipate intense thunderstorms in districts such as Khammam, Warangal, and Nalgonda, with isolated rains possible in Hyderabad. As the monsoon’s tail end brings unstable weather patterns, authorities are urging vigilance against waterlogging and traffic disruptions, ensuring the city remains prepared in case the depression system intensifies into a cyclonic threat.
