The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms across 14 districts of Telangana on Monday, October 13, 2025, warning residents of potentially severe weather conditions with lightning and gusty winds.

Extended Weather Forecast
The thunderstorm activity is not limited to Monday alone. IMD Hyderabad has forecast continued thunderstorms until October 13 across various districts of the state. Weather enthusiast T. Balaji, known for accurate forecasts, has predicted scattered intense thunderstorms in Bhadradri-Kothagudem, Khammam, Mahabubabad, and Mulugu during the afternoon to night hours.
The weather pattern extends beyond Monday, with October 14 seeing similar conditions affecting even more districts. The yellow alert for October 14 covers 22 districts, including Adilabad, Karimnagar, Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Vikarabad, and others, indicating an expansion of the thunderstorm activity.
Current Conditions and Temperature Outlook
Hyderabad is experiencing humid conditions with temperatures reaching 84°F (29°C) during the day and dropping to 70°F (21°C) at night. The city faces increasing clouds with a couple of thunderstorms expected late Monday night. Tuesday will continue with afternoon thunderstorms and mostly cloudy, humid conditions.
Regional temperature variations show Hyderabad at 22°C with 88% humidity, Ramagundam at 24.4°C with 93% humidity, Adilabad at 30.4°C with 53% humidity, Nizamabad at 22°C with 87% humidity, and Khammam at 30.4°C with 78% humidity.
Safety Precautions and Advisory
With gusty winds reaching 30-40 KMPH accompanying the thunderstorms, residents are advised to take necessary precautions. The yellow alert indicates that weather conditions pose potential risks to daily activities and require heightened awareness.
The IMD warning emphasizes that these thunderstorms may occur at isolated places, meaning not all areas within the warned districts will necessarily experience severe weather simultaneously. However, residents should remain vigilant and avoid outdoor activities during peak thunderstorm hours.
The broader weather pattern shows that southern India continues to experience active weather systems while monsoon withdrawal progresses across central and northern states. Telangana, along with Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, remains under the influence of weather systems bringing continued rainfall and thunderstorm activity through mid-October.
This persistent thunderstorm activity reflects the transitional weather pattern as the region moves from monsoon to post-monsoon conditions, with atmospheric instability creating favorable conditions for localized severe weather events across the state.
