The monsoon failed to deliver expected rains in September, leaving Telangana below its seasonal rainfall norm.
The India Meteorological Department reported that September’s monsoon activity over Telangana slowed considerably, resulting in rainfall that fell short of the seasonal average. This shortfall has pushed the state into a rainfall deficit for the current monsoon season.
Agricultural areas across the state are now facing uncertainty as water availability for irrigation may be constrained. Reservoir levels, already low in many districts, are expected to receive limited replenishment this month.
State officials have urged farmers to adopt water‑saving practices and are monitoring the situation closely, while also preparing contingency measures should the deficit persist into the coming weeks.
