Heavy Rains Flood Hyderabad as Southwest Monsoon Hits Telangana 13 Days Early
It is raining in several parts of Hyderabad. Areas including Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Panjagutta, Ameerpet, Esar Nagar, Erragadda, Kukatpally, Lingampally, Hitech City, Kondapur, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Yousufguda, Khairatabad, Secunderabad, Alwal, Uppal, Dilsukhnagar, LB Nagar, Balanagar, Chintal, Patancheru, Ramachandrapuram, Ameenpur, and surrounding regions have all experienced rainfall.
In some locations, low-lying areas were flooded, and water stagnated on the roads. This led to severe traffic jams, especially during office closing hours. Vehicles were stuck for kilometers, causing major inconvenience to commuters.
The southwest monsoon, which entered Andhra Pradesh a week ago, has now reached Telangana — a full 13 days ahead of schedule. Under the influence of a surface trough and active southwest monsoon winds, heavy rain has been forecast in the districts of Vikarabad, Sangareddy, Medak, Kamareddy, Mahabubnagar, Nagarkurnool, Wanaparthy, Narayanpet, Jogulamba, and Gadwal.
The Hyderabad Meteorological Department has also predicted light to moderate rains, along with gusty winds, for all other districts in the state.
Adding further strength to the monsoon, a low-pressure system is expected to form over the west-central Bay of Bengal. If this system intensifies, heavy rainfall is likely across the Telugu states.
Notably, the southwest monsoon winds entered Telangana on the very first day of the Rohini Karte period, which extends until June 8.

The Telugu states Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are currently experiencing unusual weather conditions, characterised by intense heat and occasional moderate rain. Residents are suffering from heat and heat-related illnesses, as temperatures—having recently dipped due to rain—are on the rise once more. Meteorological officials attribute the increase in temperatures, notably exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in many areas, to a slowdown in the monsoon and the impact of the Rohini Karte phenomenon. The Amaravati Meteorological Centre has warned that temperatures may reach highs of 41 degrees Celsius across several districts on Thursday. It is anticipated that maximum temperatures in Andhra Pradesh could increase by 2 to 3 degrees over the next two days. In particular, districts such as Vizianagaram, Alluri Sitarama Raju, Kakinada, East Godavari, West Godavari, Eluru, and Krishna are expected to experience sweltering conditions, with maximum readings between 40 and 41 degrees Celsius.
