It was like the carpet bombing all over Hyderabad and more rain is expected. The state government for the second time has given holidays to schools.
Red alert has been issued by the IMD. Both AP and Telangana are on high alert. Rains will be very high in twenty states due to monsoon and low pressure in some areas.
In Hyderabad, the highest rainfall of 7.9 cm was recorded in Charminar, followed by 7.8 cm in Rajendranagar, and 7.3 cm each in Hayathnagar and Serlingampally.
In its impact-based forecast for rainfall over the next 24 hours, the IMD said that there was a flash-flood risk in Bhadradri Kothagudem, Asifabad, Mancherial, Peddapally, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Mulugu, Nizamabad, Kamareddy, Vikarabad, Jagtial, and Medak.
After a brief break, the city experienced moderate rainfall from late evening, with the IMD stating that the southwest monsoon had been vigorous over the state and multiple weather systems will contribute to very heavy rainfall in the state over the next three days.
The low-pressure area had further intensified into a well-marked one, lying over west-central and northwest Bay of Bengal, off north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha.
It will develop into a depression and move towards the Andhra Pardesh-south Odisha coasts in the next 24 hours.
The state will continue to experience moderate to heavy, accompanied by thundershowers and gusty winds of 40-50 kmph, in the week ahead.
