Kethireddypalli near Moinabad recorded 12.9 cm of rainfall, while Chandanagar logged 12.7 cm and Lingampally recorded 11.7 cm of rainfall till 5 a.m. on Tuesday (June 23, 2026), classified as very heavy rainfall by Telangana Development Planning Society. Eight automatic weather stations recorded heavy rainfall, and 41 sensors logged moderate rainfall, marking an even spread of rainfall over Hyderabad.

 At 10.30 pm, the India Meteorological Department had forecast: “Light to moderate rain/thundershowers with gusty winds reaching upto 50 kmph very likely to occur at a few places in parts of GHMC area during next 1-2 hours.”

But what the citizens experienced was something else. “Logged out late from the office, but the rain had other plans. Still waiting to get home as Hyderabad gets drenched tonight,” wrote Nagendra on social media at 12.41 a.m. sharing a streetview of Gachibowli.

The rainfall triggered a slew of complaints about disruption in power supply mostly from the western parts of the city.  

“It has been more than 3 hours without electricity in Rajendranagar. Children are unable to sleep, and many of us are unable to work from home due to the outage. Kindly look into this issue and restore the power supply as soon as possible,” wrote one customer of Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana tagging the Chief Minister at 4.19 a.m.

The Cyberabad traffic police on Thursday (August 28, 2025) issued an advisory urging companies to consider staggered logins and logouts to ease congestion and ensure uninterrupted emergency services in view of continuing rains. Officials also urged commuters to plan their travel carefully, citing the risk of low visibility, slippery stretches and slow-moving traffic through the day.

The advisory followed overnight and early morning showers in parts of Hyderabad, which caused waterlogging and traffic snarls in a few areas.

Trouble spots included Shaikpet flyover from Tolichowki and the stretch near the Kia showroom, where water had accumulated up to 1 feet and a few vehicles were stuck.

Motorists have been asked to avoid such stretches if possible, drive cautiously and follow traffic instructions.

Cyberabad traffic police teams remain on the ground to monitor the situation. “So far, traffic is not heavy as many employees appear to have chosen to work from home,” an official from the traffic control room said. Parts of the commissionerate experienced light to moderate rains in the early morning hours, the official said.

At the same time, the Hyderabad traffic control room maintained that conditions were largely manageable. “It was mostly drizzling overnight and not heavy rains. As of the 7 am report, no waterlogging points were found and traffic was moving smoothly,” an official said.

Meanwhile, breakdown of a RTC bus caused briefly traffic snarls at pillar number 745 near KPHB Metro towards JNTU.
