Cyclone rain could reach Telangana after November 18 as the India Meteorological Department tracks a low-pressure system forming over the Bay of Bengal, while chilly and below-normal temperatures continue across the state. The system is expected to intensify into a depression around November 15 and may become a cyclonic storm later in the month.
The IMD has forecast dry weather across Telangana over the next seven days, even as its extended-range outlook indicates the possibility of further intensification over the central parts of the south Bay of Bengal between November 19 and 25. Whether Telangana receives rainfall will depend on the system’s eventual path.
The developing weather system is expected to begin as a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13. According to the forecast, it could become a well-marked low around November 14 before intensifying into a depression around November 15. The IMD has indicated that it could strengthen further into a cyclonic storm by November 18, although the available forecast does not establish a confirmed landfall or rainfall pattern for Telangana.
In Hyderabad, minimum temperatures have remained low for a fourth consecutive day. Rajendranagar recorded 13.1°C and Moula Ali 13.2°C. Turkyamjal recorded 14.3°C, Devarayamjal 14.4°C, the University of Hyderabad area in Serilingampally 14.5°C and Patancheru 14.6°C.
Data from the Telangana Development Planning Society showed that Kohir in Sangareddy recorded the lowest minimum temperature in the state at 11.3°C. Chandanvelly in Rangareddy recorded 11.4°C, followed by Nawabpet in Vikarabad at 11.7°C. Rajapur in Mahbubnagar recorded 12°C, while Sirpur in Kumram Bheem Asifabad recorded 12.2°C.
The temperature departures were also notable in parts of the state. The minimum temperature at Khammam was 6.1°C below normal, while Hanamkonda recorded a minimum 5.5°C below normal, according to the report.
For Hyderabad, the IMD forecast partly cloudy skies with haze through November 18. The minimum temperature is expected to rise gradually from around 16°C to 19°C by November 18, while maximum temperatures are likely to remain between 31°C and 32°C. Morning haze is expected to continue.
The immediate forecast therefore points to a contrast between dry conditions across Telangana and a developing weather system over the Bay. For residents, the system’s significance will depend on its movement and intensification, since those factors will determine whether it brings rainfall to the state or leaves the current dry pattern unchanged. The IMD’s next forecasts will clarify the system’s track and its possible effect on Telangana.
