Data from the Telangana State Development Planning Society (TSDPS) revealed the heaviest rainfall was recorded in Eturunagaram, Mulugu district, with 11 cm. Lingala in Khammam followed with 10 cm, while Mogadampalli in Sangareddy reported 9.8 cm.

Regions such as Gudur (Jangaon), Vasimpur and Bashirabad in Vikarabad, and several others recorded rainfall between 6 to 8 cm.

Weather Systems Behind the Rainfall

The IMD explained that a surface trough stretching from Bihar to Tamil Nadu is driving these widespread rains across Telangana. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected in many districts, while coastal Andhra Pradesh may witness isolated heavy showers.
Adding to the region’s unsettled weather, a deep depression over the northeast and northwest Arabian Sea—approximately 530 km east of Dwarka—is predicted to make landfall in Oman by Monday.
