Rain may ease heat in Telangana over the next four days
A trough in the Bay of Bengal is expected to bring rain to Telangana over the next four days.
The forecast covers Hyderabad and the state’s districts, where daytime temperatures have recently been above normal.
Light rain could bring temperatures closer to normal and ease the heat.
Telangana has had almost no rain this October, after recording 5.5 centimetres in October last year.
The state received 61.6 centimetres of rain from June to date, compared with a normal 78.9 centimetres, a 22% shortfall.
The weak monsoon has reduced water inflows into the Krishna and Godavari river basins, with poor rainfall in neighbouring Maharashtra and Karnataka also contributing.
The expected showers may bring short-term relief, but substantial rain is not expected in the next two months, according to the weather consultant.
