Light to moderate rain or thundershowers are very likely to occur at many places over Telangana. Thunderstorms, accompanied with lighting and gusty winds (30-40 kmph), are very likely to occur.

While parts of northern and eastern Telangana received rains over the last couple of days, the dry spell continued in the rest of the State. Heavy rains lashed at isolated places in Mancherial, Bhupalpally, and Kamareddy districts on Sunday.
The arrival of monsoon has provided relief to people from sweltering heat in some parts of Telangana.
The monsoon was expected to arrive in the State on June 6-7 but it was delayed due to weak sea winds in Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. According to IMD, moisture in the oceans did not come to the land due to lack of winds.
