The IMD stated that cyclonic circulation over southern coastal Andhra Pradesh and nearby areas is helping strengthen moisture flow. This has created suitable conditions for rainfall activity and monsoon movement across Telangana and surrounding regions.

In the coming days, light to moderate rain or thunderstorms are likely at isolated places in Telangana. The weather department also indicated that temperatures may rise slightly by 1–2°C before stabilizing again with rainfall activity.

Meteorologists say the current system supports gradual monsoon buildup over the southern peninsula, which could improve weather conditions in Telangana.

Residents are advised to stay updated as localized showers and thunderstorms may continue during this transition period.
