On Monday, IMD issued a warning of heavy rains across Telangana for the next 24 hours.
Chief meteorologist with Skymet, Mahesh Palawat said, “Humid winds from the Bay of Bengal are blowing over the region and are accelerating the formation of rain bearing or cumulonimbus clouds in the city. That is the reason Hyderabad is witnessing these showers.”

Mahesh also added, “As of now, the weather will remain pleasant but humid across Hyderabad and the mercury levels will continue to settle on the lower end.”
