Cloudburst triggered heavy rainfall in Hyderabad, with city recording rains to the tune of 83 mm in span of 24 hours from 8.30 am on Monday. Meanwhile, Greater Hyderabad recorded extremely heavy showers of 132 mm.

These incessant showers led to flash floods, claiming three lives and leaving several injured. Besides this, lightning strike in nearby area of Narayankhed took four lives.  

Heavy showers and squally winds uprooted the trees and snapped the electricity poles. Several vehicles were stranded for long hours. Severe water logging was reported at several places in the city such as Begumpet, Mojamhani market, and Narayanaguda-Liberty route.

It is advised by the local authorities to avoid visiting these areas. According to Skymet Weather, these hefty showers can be attributed to a trough extending from Odisha to Kerala across Chhattisgarh and Telangana. With this, it is anticipated that light to moderate rains will continue another two to three days. During this time, the city would witness on and off short and sharp spells of rain.

Thereafter, the rain intensity will once again increase by October 7 and the city will witness heavy to very heavy rains. These showers will be due to the formation of fresh cyclonic circulation which would be forming over Odisha coast. The system is most likely to move in west direction towards Telangana.

Northeast Monsoon is also round the corner and during the Northeast Monsoon, many areas of southern peninsular like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu receives good rains. Though all the districts of Telangana do not witness rain, however, the southern districts such as Hyderabad comes under its ambit.
