Hyderabad rains have inundated several parts of the city since the night before Ganesh Chaturthi, disrupting traffic and prompting officials to work to clear waterlogged roads and restore normal movement. The rainfall affected areas across North, Central and East Hyderabad, with the intensity easing in some locations by the morning.
The rainfall had gradually decreased across North and Central Hyderabad since 7 am, while weather activity shifted towards East Hyderabad, according to the report. Light to moderate rain was expected to continue in parts of the city for about two more hours, until around 8 am.
Massive thunderstorms were reported in Qutbullapur, Balanagar, Alwal, Gajularamaram, Kukatpally, Gachibowli, Miyapur, Patancheru, Manikonda, Shaikpet, Ameerpet, Khairatabad, Jubilee Hills and Begumpet.

Several parts of Hyderabad also experienced dense fog during the early hours.

The combination of rainfall, waterlogging and reduced visibility created difficult conditions for commuters during the morning period. Hyderabad Traffic Police advised people to exercise caution, warning that the rain could lead to waterlogging and slow-moving traffic at several locations.
The disruption came as Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations were taking place across the city. The timing increased the pressure on roads and public movement, although the available report did not provide details of specific event cancellations, traffic diversions or damage to public infrastructure.
Officials were working to clear waterlogged roads and restore normal traffic movement. The immediate response focused on managing the impact of the rainfall, while the forecast in the report indicated that light to moderate showers could continue in parts of Hyderabad through the early morning. Further traffic conditions would depend on the duration and intensity of the rain across the affected areas.
