**Telangana Braces for More Rain After Hyderabad Flooding**
**Hyderabad, May 22, 2025** – Telangana is bracing for another three days of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms after a night of severe flooding crippled Hyderabad on Wednesday. The Hyderabad Meteorological Centre has issued a heavy rain alert, citing a low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea near the South Konkan-Goa coast that is expected to intensify into a depression within 36 hours. A second low-pressure area is also predicted to form over the west-central and adjoining north Bay of Bengal around May 27th, with the potential to strengthen further.
The Meteorological Centre warns that the state can expect heavy to very heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, gusting up to 60 kilometers per hour. These conditions are expected to persist through Saturday. The forecast suggests that maximum temperatures across Telangana will be 3-5 degrees Celsius below normal for the next three days.
Wednesday night’s deluge in Hyderabad caused widespread disruption, with major roads and residential areas submerged. Commuters faced severe traffic congestion, and many were stranded due to the flooding. Low-lying areas were particularly affected. Areas including Panjagutta, Jubilee Hills, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Uppal, Secunderabad, LB Nagar, Ramanthapur, Dilsukhnagar, Hayathnagar, Santoshnagar, RTC Cross Road, and the Old City experienced significant rainfall. Power outages were reported in several areas due to fallen trees.
“The situation is serious, and we urge citizens to take necessary precautions,” said a spokesperson for the local authorities. Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel, stay away from vulnerable structures, and report any incidents to the emergency services.
