Currently, weather conditions suggest that the low-pressure system over the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal, observed on Friday (August 30), intensified into a depression in the morning of Saturday (August 31). The system is likely to move in a west or northwest direction, K. Nagarathna, head of the Meteorological Centre Hyderabad, explained in a video statement released on Saturday evening.
As a result, Telangana is expected to experience light to moderate rainfall across most areas on Saturday and Sunday, with some regions receiving extremely heavy rainfall and others experiencing heavy to very heavy showers. The intensity of the rainfall is likely to decrease thereafter.
