Hyderabad sources reported that according to the Met department, the rainfall that the state capital and other parts have seen over the last few days is not related to the progress of the monsoon. Meanwhile the rainfall lowered temperatures in the state over the past three days, significantly. Earlier on Saturday, Hyderabad recorded 30ºC, bringing the temperature down by 10° over the last week.
However, this rainfall has nothing to do with thunderstorm activity prevailing over the state caused by a trough running between Maharashtra and north Tamilnadu. Moreover as per report the hot air combined with humidity from the Bay of Bengal caused cloudy conditions over the past three days. This marks an intervening period between summer and monsoon, according to met officials.
According to IMD Hyderabad director Y.K. Reddy, the south west monsoon
would reach Rayalaseema by June 5 and move steadily towards south coastal
Andhra Pradesh and south Telangana state. Furthermore in the week following
June 8, both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana likely to be covered and moreover judging
by its current movement, the south west monsoon may reach the state by June 5
and cover the state by the end of the week.
