Hyderabad is facing an urgent weather update as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a thunderstorm alert for the city and surrounding districts. The alert comes as light to moderate showers and thunderstorms are expected over the next few days, with the most immediate impacts likely within the next 24 hours.
Despite thunderstorms affecting nearby areas, Hyderabad largely remained dry throughout the day. However, the IMD has warned of lightning and gusty winds, with gusts reaching up to 50 km/h. The weather is expected to shift, bringing rainfall activity that could last until Friday evening.
Residents are advised to prepare for isolated thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and strong winds. The IMD has identified 14 districts in Telangana that are under the thunderstorm alert, highlighting the widespread nature of this weather event.
The maximum temperature in Hyderabad is projected to be around 32°C, with a minimum of 21°C, indicating a notable drop of 3–4°C due to the incoming weather system. This shift is expected to provide some relief from the rising temperatures that have been affecting the region.
“Hyderabad and surrounding areas for the next 24 hours will see a partly cloudy sky,” an IMD spokesperson stated, emphasizing the changing conditions. However, the rain has brought relief from rising temperatures, but it has also raised concerns among residents regarding safety and potential disruptions.
As strong storm systems move across north and east Telangana, the impact on Hyderabad has been limited so far. Nevertheless, the situation remains dynamic, and residents are urged to stay updated on weather forecasts and alerts.
With the IMD closely monitoring the situation, officials are prepared to respond to any developments that may arise from this weather event. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the extent of rainfall and its impact on daily life in Hyderabad.
The weather system affecting parts of India has triggered widespread rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds, marking a significant shift in the region’s climate. As Hyderabad braces for potential storms, residents are advised to remain vigilant.
