The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rainfall accompanied by isolated thunderstorms across Hyderabad on Wednesday, bringing relief from the recent spell of warm and humid weather. The city is expected to witness cloudy skies throughout the day, with intermittent showers becoming more frequent during the afternoon and evening hours.
According to the weather forecast, daytime temperatures are expected to remain between 30°C and 32°C, while humidity levels will stay high, making the atmosphere feel warmer despite the rain. Gusty winds and occasional lightning are also likely in some parts of the city, particularly during thunderstorms.
The anticipated rainfall may lead to slow-moving traffic during peak evening hours. Waterlogging is possible in low-lying areas and at major traffic junctions, prompting commuters to plan their travel accordingly. Motorists have been advised to drive cautiously, maintain safe distances, and avoid flooded roads wherever possible.
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and emergency response teams remain on alert to address any issues related to waterlogging, fallen tree branches, or localized flooding. Civic authorities have urged residents to report emergencies through official helplines and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall.
The IMD has also advised people to stay indoors during thunderstorms, avoid taking shelter under isolated trees, and unplug sensitive electronic appliances if lightning activity increases. Residents are encouraged to keep umbrellas and rain gear handy, as weather conditions may change rapidly throughout the day.
Meteorologists indicate that the current spell of rain is associated with active southwest monsoon conditions over Telangana. Similar weather is expected to continue over the next couple of days, with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely across Hyderabad and surrounding districts. While the rainfall will help bring down daytime temperatures, authorities continue to monitor the situation closely to minimize disruptions to daily life.
