The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted heavy rainfall in Hyderabad regions on the 17th and the 18th of July.
While the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits would witness heavy rainfall, other districts of Telangana are likely to have light to moderate rainfall for the next two days.

In July, Hyderabad and many other districts of Telangana witnessed light to very heavy rainfalls.
Meanwhile, recently, the Telangana High Court (HC) expresses disappointment with the GHMC over the road conditions of Hyderabad.
The delay in restoration of roads dug up for various purposes including laying of drainage pipelines, telecom cables, water pipelines, etc., is posing a risk to commuters, creating unsafe conditions.
