In the wake of this, moderate with isolated heavy rains are likely to occur in Telangana by October 6 or 7. Thereafter, this cyclonic circulation is expected to travel from Odisha to Chhattisgarh due to which rain belt will also shift away from Telangana towards Chhattisgarh. This will result in a significant decrease in rains over Telangana including Hyderabad. However, still on and off rains are likely to continue.
In terms of rainfall, the ‘city of Nizams’ Hyderabad usually records 103.6 mm of rains in the month of October and till date, the state capital has recorded 83.9 mm of rains. By adding the recent heavy downpour and possibility of some more showers, it seems that the city may be able to meet its monthly target.
