The Hyderabad Meteorological Centre has reported a cyclonic circulation present over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal Odisha. This circulation extends up to 7.6 km above the mean sea level and tilts southwards as it gains altitude. As a result of this weather system, a low-pressure area is likely to form in the northwest Bay of Bengal within the next 48 hours.
On Tuesday, moderate to heavy rainfall persisted in various parts of Telangana, including Hyderabad. The heavy downpour resulted in flooding in low-lying areas in the state capital and caused disruptions to vehicular traffic.
The monsoon has been active over Telangana, leading to significant rainfall in several districts. Most places in Mulugu experienced heavy rainfall, while a few places in Hanamkonda and Karimnagar also received substantial precipitation. Additionally, isolated places in J. Bhupalpally, Nizamabad, and Rajanna Sircilla districts witnessed heavy rainfall.
