The southwestern monsoon with the help of low pressure in the Gulf of Bengal and the strong monsoon wind of the Arabian Sea has been bringing heavy rains across Telangana in the last few days, and it will probably continue in the next few days.
Afterwards, however, the magic of dry weather could be scattered for two weeks with a bright to slight collision in the region, including the Twin Cities, until August 11, according to meteorologists in Telangana Development Planning and Development Society (TGDP) on Friday.
Senior Consultant Weather YV Rama Rao reported that the clouds can clean up by tomorrow because low pressure is likely to move north towards Odisha/West Bengal and later west towards Bihar and Jharkand to the west. This moves more precipitation to the north.
“After this episode of heavy rains, Monsoon is likely to become weak for at least fourteen days. Westerly winds from the Arabian Sea will also become weak, and there seems to be no new activity in the Bay of Bengal, which is in the bay in the bay in the bay in the dry season.
However, what has done the current magic of heavy rains is almost to bridge the lack of precipitation in the state. What was in June -20% deficiency was 9% in July. If only 10.4 cm of rain were received in June compared to normal 13 cm, this month was recorded about 20 cm rain against normal 18.4 cm. This has brought the overall rainfall deficit to this day only to 3%, said Mr. Rama Rao.
The cumulative precipitation of the state from 1 June to 25 July is 30.5 cm compared to normal 31.5 cm with a deviation of -3%.
As part of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), cumulative precipitation was over 22.4 cm compared to normal 24.6 cm, with a deviation of -9%. Last year, in the same period, 40.7 cm of precipitation was received, so the difference this year was -25%.
District Nizamabad, Jagtial, Yangaon, Peddapalli, Nirmal and Mancherial still have a lack of precipitation this season.
The senior meteorologist noted that there was an increase in extreme incidents of precipitation recorded in the capital and the rest of the state, where five to six days of top rain occur within a longer dry season, helping to bridge the total lack of precipitation.
Strong rains with a thick cloud also had an impact on temperatures. The maximum temperatures drop by three four degrees below normal in the range of 28-32 degrees C. The minimum temperatures were two to three degrees below normal in the range of 18-24 degrees C, he added.
