Hyderabad has been under the embrace of monsoon rain for seven days, with relentless drizzles and light showers that have finally brought the city’s rainfall within the normal range. This wet spell has resulted in normal to excess rainfall across almost all parts of the city.
Since the onset of the monsoon in June, Khairatabad has recorded the highest excess rainfall, with a substantial 341 mm, followed by Nampally (333.2 mm), Charminar (329.4 mm), Secunderabad (316.3 mm), Asifnagar (295.3 mm), and Himayatnagar (282.9 mm).
Telangana has recorded 397.9 mm of rainfall, surpassing the average of 305.8 mm and last year’s 366 mm. Districts such as Jogulamba Gadwal, Wanaparthy, Narayanpet, and Nagarkurnool are experiencing substantial excess rainfall. Even Mancherial, which began the month with a deficit, has now moved into above-normal territory.
According to an IMD scientist, Hyderabad will likely continue to experience non-stop drizzles until Saturday. For the next two days, the maximum and minimum temperatures in the city are forecasted to be around 28 degree Celsius and 24 degree Celsius, respectively.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for isolated places across Telangana.
Meanwhile, the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad has issued a monsoon travel advisory, urging passengers to stay updated on weather conditions and plan their travel accordingly.
In response to high demand and the shortage of app-based cabs, the RGIA has collaborated with various cab operators to provide additional vehicles and has worked with Ola and Uber to waive cancellation fees for passengers. Additional passenger service associates have been deployed to assist with transport-related queries, and a new help desk has been established. Furthermore, the TGSRTC Pushpak boarding point has been moved to minimise the walking distance for bus passengers.
