TG experiencing scorching heat amid deficit rainfall
Hyderabad: Despite the onset of winter, Telangana has been experiencing scorching heat even as the Southwest Monsoon has withdrawn, leavinga deficit rainfall in the state.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department officials, during this time of the year, generally the temperatures come down and there used to be some rainfall due to monsoon withdrawal effect. However, people these days are facing discomfort due to the sweltering conditions.
The Meteorological Department reported temperatures of 37°C in Adilabad, 35°C in Hyderabad, 36.2°C in Bhadrachalam and Mahbubnagar.
Meanwhile, the withdrawal of the Southwest Monsoon from the state began on Thursday. The IMD officials said that the monsoon started receding from northern and central Telangana on Thursday and is expected to withdraw completely from the state by Friday.
On October 8, 2026, the Southwest Monsoon withdrew further from the remaining parts of Maharashtra; some parts of Goa, Karnataka, Telangana, and Odisha; and some more parts of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.
The line of withdrawal of the Southwest Monsoon now passes through 27.5°N/86.5°E, Supaul, Ranchi, Sundargarh, Bargarh, Bijapur, Hyderabad, Belagavi, Panjim, and 15°N/72°E. The line of withdrawal over Telangana passes through Tandur, Vikarabad, Hyderabad, Jangaon, and Bhupalpally.
Conditions are becoming favourable for further withdrawal of the Southwest Monsoon from some more parts of eastern India and the northern Peninsula, as well as many parts of northeast India, over the next three-four days.
Telangana had recorded a 17 per cent rainfall deficit during the 2026 South West Monsoon, receiving 615.5 mm of rainfall against the normal seasonal average of 740.6 mm. The Hyderabad city recorded a 27 per cent rainfall deficit, receiving 458.2 mm against a normal of 627.2 mm. In June, the rainfall was 115.3 mm against 130.3 mm normal (12 per cent deficit); in July, 224 mm against 227.4 mm (1 per cent); in August, 134.5 mm against 215.8 mm (38 per cent);and in September, 141.7 mm against 167.1 mm (15 per cent deficit).
IMD officials attributed the deficit in rainfall to the evolving Super El Niño, which led to weakening the conditions that bring moisture-bearing monsoon winds to India. Before the monsoon, the IMD had indicated the possible development of El Niño conditions during the season.
