In Hyderabad, the IMD predicts scattered rainfall with occasional intense spells accompanied by gusty winds. A yellow alert has been issued for the city and will remain in effect until May 31.

“The maximum temperature in the city is expected to remain below 36°C due to cloud cover and rainfall,” said KS Sridhar, meteorologist from IMD Hyderabad, speaking to NewsMeter.

Expert predictions: Focus on South and West Telangana

Sridhar stated that West and South Telangana are likely to receive heavy rainfall in the coming days. “Hyderabad will likely see scattered showers rather than continuous downpours,” he added.

Residents across the State, especially in vulnerable districts like Bhupalpally and Kothagudem, are advised to stay alert for sudden weather changes and avoid travel during intense weather activity. Local authorities are monitoring the situation and have been advised to remain on standby for any emergency response.
