Heavy overnight rain, flooding disrupts life as power supply is hit in western parts of Hyderabad

While Kethireddypalli near Moinabad recorded 12.9 cm rainfall, Chandanagar recorded 12.7 cm and Lingampally recorded 11.7 cm rainfall till 5 am on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and was classified as very heavy rainfall by the Telangana Development Planning Association. Eight automatic weather stations recorded heavy rainfall and 41 sensors recorded moderate rainfall, indicating that rainfall was evenly spread over Hyderabad.

The India Meteorological Department had predicted at 10.30 pm: “Light to moderate rain/thunderstorms with gusty winds of up to 50 kmph are very likely to occur in parts of GHMC district in the next 1-2 hours.”

However, what the citizens experienced was completely different. “I checked out of office late but the rain had other plans. Still waiting to return home as Hyderabad gets drenched tonight,” Nagendra wrote while sharing a street view of Gachibowli on social media at 12.41 am.

The rain triggered numerous complaints about power outages, mostly from the western parts of the city.

At 4.19 am, a customer of Southern Power Distribution Company in Telangana wrote, tagging the Prime Minister: “There was a power outage in Ragendranagar for more than 3 hours. Children cannot sleep and many of us cannot work from home due to the outage. Please take care of this issue and restore power supply as soon as possible.”
