Hyderabad Drenched in Surprise Downpour: Monsoon Mayhem Hits City

Just a few weeks ago, on the evening of July 4th, 2025, the city of Hyderabad was hit by a surprise monsoon downpour. Hours before the rain began, at 7:44 pm, the India Meteorological Department had issued an orange alert for the next three hours, forecasting "moderate to heavy rain/thundershowers with intense spells" over the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) area.

True to the prediction, the skies opened up around 9 pm, with blinding rain in the northern parts of the city, including Alwal, Suchitra Junction, Lothukunta, and Bolarum. HYDRAA teams, strategically stationed on the roads with pumps, immediately sprang into action to pump out the floodwaters from the waterlogging points. By 11 pm, when the rain had eased off, several areas had recorded significant rainfall, with Kukatpally seeing 6.6 cm, Qutbullapur 6 cm, Shapur Nagar 5.7 cm, and Adarshnagar 5.5 cm. Even central Hyderabad's Begumpet area recorded 4.5 cm of rainfall.
