Telangana may witness rains, thunderstorms in upcoming days

Hyderabad: Telangana and certain areas in east India are expected to experience isolated thunderstorms and scattered rains due to a wind confluence zone in central India. Regions in north Telangana such as Adilabad, Nirmal, Nizamabad, Asifabad, and Kamareddy may remain cloudy and witness isolated rainfall.

L.V. Rao, a weather forecaster from IMD, told NewsMeter, “There is a likelihood of lightning accompanied by rainfall in certain districts of north Telangana, including Adilabad, Komarambheem, Mancheriala, Nirmal, Nizamabad, and Jagityala. This weather phenomenon is expected to occur tonight and the probability of it happening tomorrow (8 March) is very low.”

He further explained that thunderstorms occur when moist winds from the south combine with dry winds from the north. According to Balaji, popularly known as Telangana Weatherman, “There is an anticipated increase in thunderstorm activity in Telangana and other parts of east India in the upcoming days, with some regions even experiencing hailstorms.”

“Storms are predicted to gradually start in Telangana after 14 March. These storms are likely to be isolated and scattered in nature, accompanied by high winds, crop-damaging rains, and possibly some hail. During the summer season, a type of rainfall called mango showers is expected to occur before 14 March, primarily consisting of isolated rainfall events. After this date, there is a higher chance of rainfall due to the accumulation of moisture,” he said.
