Rains to Cease, Scattered Spells to be the Norm in Telangana

Intense rainfall that has been pounding the state for the past three days, which has taken a toll on the entire geographical area of Telangana, will subside over the next two days, with scattered and less intense rains predicted for the rest of July.

Multiple weather systems were active in the state for a week influencing incessant rains in the state, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

An IMD official told that "The well-marked low-pressure area lies over west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal off north Andhra Pradesh-south Odisha coasts and associated cyclonic circulation is extending up to 7.6 km above mean sea level. 

Another upper end cyclonic circulation has moved over from Madhya Pradesh



over to Rajasthan as well as the east-west wind shear zone is along latitude 20 degree north between 3.1 km and 7.6 km above mean sea level tilting southwards. Under these synoptic conditions, Telangana is likely to have light to moderate rains over most places and heavy rains over few places and extreme rains in one or two places."

Mahesh Palawat, the vice president of meteorology and climate change for Skymet Weather, said that the current weather system of the low-pressure area would gradually degenerate into a cyclonic circulation in the next two to three days and is expected to move in the northwest direction, away from Telangana and towards north-interior Karnataka due to which the rain severity in the state will lessen.
