Hyderabad, July 28: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a Yellow Alert for Hyderabad, warning residents of thunderstorms, lightning, gusty winds reaching 30–40 km/h, and intermittent rainfall as monsoon activity remains active across Telangana.
According to the IMD, the city is expected to experience generally cloudy skies with one or two spells of rain or thundershowers during the day. Weather officials have advised residents to remain cautious, particularly during evening hours when thunderstorm activity is likely to intensify.
The weather department has warned that strong winds and lightning may lead to temporary disruptions, including waterlogging in low-lying areas, reduced visibility, traffic congestion, and delays in road and air travel. Citizens have been urged to avoid taking shelter under trees during thunderstorms, secure loose outdoor objects, and limit unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain.
Emergency and civic agencies have been placed on alert to respond to any weather-related incidents. Municipal officials are monitoring vulnerable locations to prevent flooding and ensure that drainage systems function efficiently in the event of heavy downpours.
The IMD has advised the public to stay updated through official weather bulletins and follow instructions issued by local authorities. While the rainfall is expected to provide relief from warm daytime temperatures, residents are encouraged to exercise caution until weather conditions improve.
