Ever since KCR took over as the CM of Telangana, there were abundant rains and now the irrigation projects have increased the groundwater table also.
Telangana is witnessing very heavy rains in the next four days. The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a red alert, warning of heavy rains with thunderstorms and squally winds.
The extensive rains are due to an active southwest monsoon as well as a cyclonic circulation in the middle and upper troposphere over the northwest Bay of Bengal.
In the coming two days, low pressure is likely to emerge over the Northwest Bay of Bengal due to its impact.
During the next three days, it is expected to travel west northwestwards along the monsoon trough, bringing heavy rainfall to a few regions of Andhra Pradesh, and North Telangana districts and moderate rains to the rest of the state.
