Meteorological officials say the ongoing dry spell across Hyderabad and nearby districts has intensified, with rainfall deficits expanding.
The Telangana State Meteorological Department reported that the dry spell affecting Hyderabad and its surrounding districts has continued unabated, with the region recording a significant shortfall in expected rainfall. Experts noted that the deficit has deepened compared to the same period last year, exacerbating water scarcity concerns.
Local authorities have warned that the prolonged lack of rain could strain municipal water supplies and impact agricultural activities in peripheral districts. Reservoir levels are reported to be lower than usual, prompting calls for water conservation measures.
The department urged residents to monitor weather updates and adopt water-saving practices as the state awaits the upcoming monsoon window.
Meanwhile, civic officials are coordinating with irrigation agencies to assess the situation and mitigate potential impacts on crops and urban water demand.
