Residents of Hyderabad have been issued a weather warning as the city braces for intense thunderstorms following several days of severe heatwave conditions. The alert, issued under the HyderabadRains WARNING system, has cautioned citizens to prepare for sudden weather changes with heavy rainfall and thunderstorm activity expected across multiple localities. The meteorological warning comes as a significant relief after the city experienced scorching temperatures in recent days, but also brings concerns about potential disruptions to daily life and commute.
The thunderstorm warning specifically covers several key areas in the western and central parts of the city. Serlingampally, Gachibowli, Miyapur, Madhapur, Kukatpally, Raidurg, Kondapur, Hafizpet, Tellapur, and Nanakramguda are expected to experience the first wave of intense thunderstorms within the next one hour. These areas, which house major IT corridors and residential complexes, are likely to witness heavy rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning. Authorities have advised residents and commuters in these localities to take necessary precautions and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during the storm period.
Weather experts indicate that the thunderstorm system will gradually move across the city, affecting other parts of Hyderabad in the subsequent hours. The sudden transition from extreme heat to stormy conditions is attributed to atmospheric instability caused by the buildup of moisture and rising temperatures over the past few days. Citizens have been urged to plan their travel and outdoor activities accordingly, keeping in mind the possibility of waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and power outages in some areas. Schools, offices, and commercial establishments in the affected zones are advised to monitor weather updates closely.
