HYDERABAD: Monday saw widespread rainfall across Hyderabad, with several localities receiving moderate to heavy showers. The showers brought a significant drop in maximum temperatures compared to the same day last year, marking one of the coolest days in recent weeks.
According to data from the Telangana Development Planning Society, Patancheru MRO Office (Ramachandrapuram & Patancheru) recorded the highest rainfall at 13.3 mm, followed by Wadi E Mahmood, Sulemannagar (Rajendranagar) with 12.5 mm, and Khajaguda Sports Complex, Gachibowli (Serilingampally) with 12.3 mm.

All 30 GHMC circles reported maximum temperatures below 35 degrees Celsius. In contrast, on the same date in 2024, most circles recorded temperatures in the range of 38 degrees Celsius to 41 degrees Celsius. This year's cooler weather can be attributed to prevailing cloud cover and intermittent rain, say officials.

The sky is expected to remain generally cloudy. Maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to hover around 34 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius respectively.
