According to the IMD, light to moderate rainfall or thundershowers are likely to occur, accompanied by a cloudy sky. The temperature on Friday is expected to drop to 36 degrees Celsius, a significant decrease from the forecasted range of 41 to 44 degrees Celsius on Thursday.

Rainfall Patterns and Forecast

While Hyderabad is set to receive rainfall on Saturday, the IMD has indicated that other districts in Telangana are unlikely to experience similar downpours over the next few days. However, a surge in rainfall is expected in Hyderabad next month, with the IMD forecasting a timely arrival of the monsoon after June 6.

Monsoon Season Expectations

Deviation in Various Mandals

Several mandals in Hyderabad, including Shaikpet, Maredpally, Charminar, Asifnagar, Nampally, Khairatabad, Secunderabad, and Tirumalgiri, reported rainfall deviations higher than the city’s average during the last monsoon season.

Relief from Summer Heat

As Hyderabad braces for the monsoon, residents can look forward to relief from the summer heat. The anticipated rainfall and subsequent decline in temperatures are expected to provide much-needed respite from the high temperatures experienced recently.

Conclusion

With the IMD’s forecast of impending rainfall and a timely monsoon, Hyderabad is set to transition from the intense summer heat to the cooler, wetter monsoon season. This shift will bring significant changes in weather patterns, offering relief and sustaining the city's water needs.
