The Southwest Monsoon has arrived in Telangana, bringing moderate to heavy rains across the state. The Meteorological Center of Hyderabad predicts that the rain will continue for the next three days, with a yellow alert issued for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday due to possible heavy rainfall.
During this period, the Meteorological Department warns of thunder, lightning, and gusty winds. On Wednesday, 16 districts, including Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, and Rangareddy, may experience heavy rains. The combined districts of Adilabad, Khammam, and Mahabubnagar are likely to receive light rains with gusty winds.
Thursday is expected to bring moderate rains to districts like Adilabad, Karimnagar, and Warangal. On Tuesday, scattered rains were reported in several districts, with Bommalaramaram recording the highest rainfall of 6.9 cm.
Unfortunately, heavy rains have led to thunderstorms and tragic incidents. A farmer in Siddipet district and a woman in Medak district lost their lives after being struck by lightning. The farmer, Kadari Srisailam, sought shelter under a tree while working in his field and was hit by lightning. The woman, Ellamma, was walking in the rain when she suffered the same fate.
As the rainy weather persists in Telangana, residents are urged to stay safe and take necessary precautions.
