**Headline: Telangana Braces for More Rain as Monsoon Approaches**
**Hyderabad:** The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast widespread rainfall across Telangana for the next four days due to a trough and upper air cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal.
Light to moderate showers are expected in many areas on Monday and Tuesday, with the possibility of heavy rainfall in some locations. An Yellow Alert has been issued for Kamareddy, Sangareddy, Vikarabad, Narayanpet, Mahbubnagar, Nagarkurnool, Wanaparthy and Jogulamba Gadwal districts where thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are likely. The weather department further added that the districts may expect heavy rainfall.
The anticipated rainfall is expected to bring relief from the recent heat, with daytime temperatures likely to drop by up to five degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon is rapidly advancing in both the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. It is expected to cover more areas of the southern Arabian Sea, Maldives, Comorin region, and the Bay of Bengal within the next two to three days. A surface trough extending up to 0.9 km above mean sea level currently runs from central Maharashtra to Rayalaseema (Andhra Pradesh) and Karnataka. Additionally, another trough runs from the Southeast Bay of Bengal, through coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema, to Karnataka. These systems are expected to bring moderate to heavy rainfall to several parts of coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema over the next 24 hours.
The IMD also indicates that the monsoon’s arrival in Kerala is likely to be ahead of schedule. While previously expected to hit the Kerala coast around May 27th, the latest forecast suggests an arrival around May 24th. This could lead to the monsoon entering Telangana as early as the first week of June.
