Umbrella alert! Hyderabad may see more thundershowers in coming days
Hyderabad saw unexpected heavy rain on Wednesday, making rush hour a mess with traffic jams and waterlogged streets, especially in Hayathnagar and Vanasthalipuram.
The IMD says more thundershowers are likely over the next two days, so it's probably smart to keep an umbrella handy.
IMD warns of thunderstorms with lightning, gusty winds
Hayathnagar got 31.5mm of rain, and Vanasthalipuram got 24.8mm, while places like Defence Colony, Madhura Nagar, and Uppal also saw decent showers. Tiryani in Kumuram Bheem district was hit hardest with nearly 49mm.
Local authorities advised farmers to take precautions, as gusty winds could impact standing crops.
The IMD warned of thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds at isolated places in several districts, and Hyderabad may see light to moderate thundershowers in the evening or night, so staying updated through weather apps is a good idea right now.
