Overview

  • The IMD has placed parts of Telangana under red alerts for heavy rains through July 26 and maintained orange and red warnings in Maharashtra and Odisha as low-pressure systems fuel sustained downpours.
  • Heavy rainfall has caused waterlogging and severe traffic jams in Hyderabad’s major junctions and IT corridors, prompting HYDRAA and NDRF teams to clear roads and assist stranded commuters.
  • Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has directed district collectors to maintain high alert, furnish regular weather updates and open relief camps for thousands of displaced residents.
  • Mumbai’s seven reservoirs have risen above 87% capacity and two dams—Modak Sagar and Tansa—are overflowing, leading the BMC to issue high-tide advisories through July 27.
  • In Odisha, the IMD has warned of heavy rain and rough seas in a dozen coastal districts, advising fishermen to stay ashore until conditions improve.
