Weather in Hyderabad Today: Cyclone Montha has begun to weaken after making landfall in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday evening but continues to impact neighbouring Telangana. Several districts, including Warangal, remain under a red alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall. In Hyderabad, residents are witnessing rain accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a yellow alert for the city. Commuters have been advised to stay cautious as many areas are waterlogged following days of continuous rain. The severe weather has also disrupted flight operations, with airlines issuing advisories for passengers. "The cyclone is weakening for the past 6 hours and may weaken into a depression in the next 6 hours... Northern and Eastern districts of Telangana will receive heavy to very heavy rainfall and 3 districts will receive extremely heavy rainfall... It is moving towards North and Northwest at a speed of 15 Km per hour... Tomorrow, some districts will receive light to moderate rainfall and some isolated pockets will receive heavy rainfall... The weather conditions in Telangana will improve after tomorrow...,” said IMD Scientist Dr A Dharma Raju. Flight Advisories In a post on X, formerly Twitter, SpiceJet informed its passengers that their flight operations could be affected due to bad weather. “#WeatherUpdate: Due to bad weather (heavy rain) in Hyderabad (HYD), all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights may be affected.
