Hyderabad: HYDRA urged the Telangana people not to come out of the houses for three days i.e., August 13^th to 15^th if necessary due to the heavy rain forecast in Telangana.

Light to moderate rain is expected in all districts over the next three days, with some areas likely to receive more intense downpours. Residents are advised to exercise caution, particularly in low-lying areas.

According to the IMD prediction the heavy rain alert for several parts of Telangana with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds of 30-40 km/h are likely in many districts over the next three days. There will be heavy to very heavy rainfall in some districts on August 12^th & 13^th in isolated locations

The IMD said a low-pressure area is expected to form over the northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal by August 13^th. This weather system, combined with an active monsoon trough, is likely to enhance rainfall activity across the State.

At present, the monsoon runs from Amritsar through Chandigarh, Shahjahanpur, Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Darbhanga, Jalpaiguri, and extends east-northeast to Arunachal Pradesh. A cyclonic circulation is also present over north coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining Telangana, tilting southwards with height between 3.1 and 5.8 km above mean sea level.
