Telangana Records 32% Excess Rainfall in 2024-25 Monsoon
Hyderabad: The 2024-25 monsoon season officially drew to a close, and Telangana emerged with a substantial 32% surplus in rainfall, ushering in optimism for the state's water resources and agricultural prospects. According to the latest data released by the Telangana Development Planning Society (TGDPS), the state received an impressive 1,215.9 mm of rainfall against the annual average of 918.9 mm, placing it firmly in the "excess" rainfall category. Meteorologists highlighted that this year's rainfall marked a significant improvement over the previous monsoon season, which saw lower precipitation levels. "The rainfall data compiled up to May 31, 2025, shows that a vast majority of districts across the state received above-normal rainfall, with several experiencing 'large excess' precipitation," said YV Rama, a senior scientist from TGDPS. Among the standout districts this monsoon were Wanaparthy, Jogulamba Gadwal, and Mahabubnagar—all of which were categorised under "large excess" rainfall. Wanaparthy recorded 1,136.9 mm of rain—an 80% increase over its normal of 631.4 mm. Jogulamba Gadwal wasn't far behind, logging 989.6 mm of rain, which is 71% more than its average of 579.6 mm. Mahabubnagar also received 1,099.6 mm of rainfall, representing a 71% deviation from its normal average of 643.2 mm. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A perfect start needs the perfect ride – Shine 125! Honda Learn More Other districts, including Medak (32% excess), Rangareddy (29%), Karimnagar (28%), and Khammam (35%), also recorded significant surpluses, underscoring the widespread nature of the rainfall. Hyderabad, the state capital, saw 1,112.9 mm of rain against a seasonal norm of 830.7 mm, marking a 34% surplus. While this is expected to boost groundwater levels and provide relief for the city's water supply, officials also noted challenges. "We've witnessed more intense short-duration showers this year, which led to urban flooding and infrastructure pressure," said an official from the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Experts believe that the healthy monsoon could contribute positively to the upcoming agricultural cycle, particularly in water-intensive regions. "The excess rainfall is also expected to enhance reservoir storage and groundwater recharge, crucial for sustaining rural and semi-urban communities through the dry months ahead," said G Sailu, a biodiversity expert.

'I was on high alert': Women shares unsettling train journey with Gilgo beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann
A young woman has come forward with a disturbing n unsettling train journey she shared with alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, just days before his arrest last year. Kaylin Morales, 21, said she was travelling home on a nearly empty Long Island Rail Road train on 1 July 2023, when Heuermann sat down beside her, uncomfortably close, despite there being dozens of empty seats. 'I just thought he was this big, fat, ugly white man…I obviously didn't know who he was at the time,' Morales told the New York Post. 'It was just so weird that the rest of the seats were empty and he had to sit right next to me. I was on high alert at that point.' Heuermann, 61, allegedly made a creepy comment as he sat down, saying, 'Oh, you don't have to move your pretty legs. I won't bother you.' Feeling 'uncomfortable' and 'boxed in' by Heuermann's large body, Morales began secretly recording him with her phone, capturing photos and videos as the train left Penn Station. In one Snapchat clip, Heuermann is seen sipping a Miller Lite, his phone on his lap appearing to show a New York Post article. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A perfect start needs the perfect ride – Shine 125! Honda Learn More Undo Another video shows him cracking open a second can of beer. 'I could have moved but I was like, 'Is he going to say something else to me?'' she said. 'I just don't want to interact with this man any further — everything about him was sussing me out. So I thought the best thing to do was ignore him and put my AirPods in and look out of the window.' Morales said she later saw Heuermann exit the train at Massapequa, the same area he had lived in for years before his shocking arrest on 13 July 2023 in connection with several long-unsolved murders on Gilgo Beach. Her footage, initially kept private, was submitted to Suffolk County Crime Stoppers. Morales was later interviewed by a detective, who confirmed the man in the videos was indeed Heuermann. 'My heart immediately sank to the floor…it was literally the craziest feeling. I couldn't even believe it,' she recalled of the moment she recognised him on the news. Morales said she held off from posting the clips online until earlier this month out of fear for her safety and finally posted it on TikTok. 'I was worried if I posted right after his arrest, if he had a partner, I didn't want them coming after me, so I waited,' she said. 'After I watched the Netflix documentary and see that he did this alone, I felt more comfortable sharing my experience.' When approached, the Suffolk county police department declined to comment, and the district attorney's office said they could not confirm or deny details of any ongoing investigations.

Ronit Bose Roy on Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan: It is a powerful reminder that age is just a number especially when your hearts are filled with love and pride for your country
For years, the story of Prithviraj Chauhan has mostly been told through the lens of his iconic romance with Princess Sanyogita. But the upcoming series Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan aims to rewrite that perspective, focusing instead on the king's unmatched courage, sharp military strategy, and his legendary battle against Muhammad Ghori in the 12th century. The new series aims to dive deep into Prithviraj's military exploits, his leadership, and the political turmoil of the time culminating in the pivotal battles against Ghori. While past portrayals have romanticized the king's life, this one is determined to offer a more complete picture of the ruler who once stood as the last major king who ruled Delhi. Adding depth to the saga is Ronit Bose Roy, portraying King Someshwar, Prithviraj's father. His powerful performance brings emotional weight to the story of a young boy destined to become a legendary ruler. Talking about the show Ronit Bose Roy says, 'The clash of these two titans – Prithviraj Chauhan and Muhammad Ghori is something that history will ever. Especially the valour, courage and bravery that Prithviraj Chauhan portrayed through this battlefield. It was a clash of blood for the motherland with a defence like no other. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A perfect start needs the perfect ride – Shine 125!
