The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced in a weather bulletin on Wednesday that parts of South India are likely to experience heavy rainfall until October 20, attributed to the onset of the Northeast Monsoon. This development could indirectly affect Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The IMD specifically predicted isolated very heavy rainfall over Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal on October 15. Residents in these areas are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
In a separate forecast, the weather department also indicated the likelihood of hailstorm activity in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. On Monday morning, motorists on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and NH-9 Dasna traveled with headlights on amidst dark skies and light drizzle, following overnight rain and strong winds.
This weather event in Ghaziabad on October 12, 2026, where drivers used headlights due to dark skies and light drizzle after overnight rain and strong winds, highlights the intensity of the changing weather patterns.
The heavy rainfall in South India could influence weather conditions in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Residents should stay informed, as weather changes in neighboring states often have a ripple effect on our region.
