Cyclone Alert: Telangana Braces for Heavy Rainfall From October 27

Hyderabad, October 25, 2025 – Telangana is bracing for heavy rainfall starting October 27, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts a depression in the Bay of Bengal will intensify into a cyclonic storm. The IMD’s Hyderabad center warns that the weather system, currently a depression, is expected to strengthen into a deep depression by October 26 before evolving into a cyclone on October 27.

“We are anticipating heavy rains for Telangana on October 27 and 28,” stated Dharma Raju, a scientist at the IMD Hyderabad center, speaking to The Hindu.

The southern and eastern districts of Telangana are expected to bear the brunt of the storm, while Hyderabad is predicted to experience lighter, intermittent rainfall with cloudy skies. While the next two days will see only light to moderate rainfall in eastern and southern parts of the state, the situation is expected to change drastically by the evening of October 27.

“From the evening of October 27 onwards, the weather scenario over Telangana completely changes. The system is most likely to cross on October 28, and that will bring heavy rains,” Raju explained. Rainfall activity is predicted to continue until October 29, though its intensity will gradually decrease.

The IMD reports a cyclonic circulation is already active over the southeast Bay of Bengal and the South Andaman Sea, having formed a low-pressure area on October 24. The system is expected to move west-northwest, gradually intensifying into a depression by today, a deep depression by tomorrow, and a cyclonic storm over the southwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal by the morning of October 27. Residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
