Yellow Alert for 17 Districts of Telangana

The Meteorological Centre, Begumpet, has specifically warned of thunderstorms and lightning at isolated places across 17 districts on February 24. The affected districts include: Adilabad, Kumaram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Nirmal, Nizamabad, Peddapalli, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Khammam, Mahabubabad, Warangal, Hanamkonda, Rangareddy, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Hyderabad, and Nagarkurnool.

The IMD’s latest bulletin suggests these storms could be accompanied by gusty winds reaching speeds of 30-40 kmph in some areas.

Why the Sudden Rain?

The current atmospheric instability is attributed to a low-pressure area and a trough running from the southwest Bay of Bengal toward south Madhya Maharashtra, passing through interior Karnataka. This system is funnelling moisture-laden winds into Telangana, leading to unseasonal precipitation in a month typically known for clear skies and rising heat.
