Hyderabad witnessed heavy rainfall on Thursday, affecting multiple areas across the city. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier issued forecasts predicting rain and thunderstorms, with gusty winds expected to continue over the next two days. A yellow alert has been issued, covering key zones such as Charminar, Khairatabad, Kukatpally, LB Nagar, Secunderabad, and Serilingampally. The stormy weather caused waterlogging in several parts of the city, leading to traffic congestion and disruptions in daily activities. Weather experts, including T. Balaji, known as Telangana Weatherman, have predicted that Hyderabad will experience intense thunderstorms in the afternoon and night, with heavier rainfall anticipated closer to midnight.

Apart from Hyderabad, other districts in Telangana have also recorded significant rainfall. Siddipet witnessed the highest downpour, measuring 47.88 mm by 2 PM on April 3, followed by Kamareddy, which received 44.5 mm of rain. The showers began in Hyderabad around 2 PM, leading to submerged roads and partially flooded low-lying areas. Commuters faced challenges navigating through waterlogged streets, particularly in residential colonies and business hubs. Authorities have urged citizens to stay cautious and avoid unnecessary travel, as the risk of flash floods and traffic snarls remains high. Emergency teams have been deployed in vulnerable areas to monitor the situation and provide assistance where needed.

Meteorologists warn that the unstable weather pattern may persist for a few more days, bringing additional thunderstorms and heavy showers. With the IMD extending its warning for the next four days, residents have been advised to prepare for potential disruptions. The sudden rainfall has also impacted outdoor events and public gatherings, with organizers forced to make last-minute changes to schedules. Meanwhile, experts are analyzing the broader impact of these weather shifts on the region’s overall climate patterns. As the city braces for more rain, authorities continue to monitor the situation to ensure public safety and minimize damage.
