HYDERABAD: The southwest monsoon is slowly reviving across Telangana as the city received light rains of up to 33 mm on Tuesday.
Under the influence of a trough extending from Madhya Pradesh and its neighbouring areas to Bay of Bengal, many parts of Telangana are likely to receive light to moderate rains for the next four days.
According to the Telangana State Development Planning Society (TSDPS), Macha Bollarum recorded 33.5 mm of rainfall up to 7 pm. Many other areas in the central, eastern and northern corridors recorded 10-30 mm of rains. Even as the southwest monsoon is reviving over Telangana, analysis by the TSDPS indicates that the state has recorded 45% of deficit rainfall for the month of August.
The TSDPS figures indicates that Telangana has recorded 95.2 mm of rains in August so far as against normal of 171.7 mm as on date. Last year, Telangana had recorded 368.6 mm of rains in the month of August.
However, this year, due to a prolonged break in southwest monsoon, the rainfall activity over the state was subdued.
