The undivided Khammam district received 84 mm of rainfall during the last 24 hours. According to reports coming in from the districts, there were rains in all parts of Khammam since morning, prompting the authorities to declare a holiday for educational institutions. The day temperatures were down due to the Arnab cyclone effect. The city, which witnessed hot conditions until last week, is now experiencing cold.
