After days of bright and dry weather, Hyderabad witnessed heavy rainfall in several parts of the city on Wednesday, with a sudden change in weather catching commuters off guard.

The skies turned dark shortly after 3 p.m., followed by intense rainfall in several areas. Waterlogging and slow traffic movement were reported at multiple locations, including near Taj Krishna towards KCP Junction and the Panjagutta flyover.

Commuters were caught by surprise by the sudden downpour, with several people seen taking shelter beneath Metro stations and other covered spaces to escape the rain. Heavy rainfall was reported from Ameerpet, Khairatabad, Madhura Nagar, Nagole, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills and Madhapur, among other areas.

According to Telangana Development Planning Society data, the city had recorded no rainfall in several locations until 3 p.m. However, rainfall intensified rapidly over the next hour. As of 4 p.m., Khairatabad had recorded 13.8 mm followed by 12.3 mm in Srinagar Colony, 11.5 mm in Banjara Hills, 9.8 mm in Borabanda, 9.5 mm in Ameerpet, 9.5 mm in Jubilee Hills and 7.5 mm in Madhapur.

A 44-year-old man and his 16-year-old daughter were electrocuted in Secunderabad in the early hours of Saturday (June 13, 2026) after they stepped out of their home to move their car away from a tree that had fallen during heavy rain.

The deceased were identified as Ch. Sandeep, a manager at Sai Sree Foods in Balanagar, and his daughter Ritika, an intermediate second-year student. The incident was reported around 2.45 a.m. in Telecom Colony, Alwal.

According to police, a tree collapsed in front of the family’s house amid heavy rain. Sandeep, his wife Swetha and their daughter came out of the house to move their car away from the fallen tree.

While doing so, Swetha noticed an electric wire hanging on the road and attempted to move it away from the vehicle. She received an electric shock and fell to the ground. As Sandeep got out of the car to help, another live wire fell on Ritika, electrocuting her.

Police said Sandeep then rushed to rescue his daughter but was also electrocuted. Swetha, who sustained a comparatively mild shock, managed to move away from the spot.

An ambulance was rushed to the scene, but emergency personnel declared Sandeep and Ritika dead.

This is the second fatal electrocution in the week linked to the heavy rains in Hyderabad. On Tuesday (June 9, 2026), two men died after being electrocuted in Bandlaguda following a sudden downpour in the city.

A case has been booked by the Alwal police and further investigation is underway.

Two youths lost their lives after being electrocuted in Bandlaguda following heavy rains that lashed parts of the city on Tuesday evening.

The deceased were identified as Md. Zafar, 15, and Md. Afroz, 30, both residents of Chandrayangutta.

Bandlaguda Inspector R. Devender said the incident was reported around 6 p.m. when the two arrived in an auto-rickshaw and stepped out near a hotel in the locality to have tea. At the time, sudden rain accompanied by strong winds led to electric wires falling from a pole onto the road.

After getting down from the vehicle, Afroz accidentally stepped on a live wire and suffered a severe electric shock. In an attempt to rescue him, Zafar also came into contact with the live wire and was electrocuted.

The bodies were shifted for post-mortem examination. A case has been registered, and further investigation is under way.
