Several parts of Hyderabad witnessed rainfall on Friday due to the impact of the cyclone circulation over coastal Andhra Pradesh. Thunderstorm activity has been recorded in a few north Telangana districts due to the upper air circulation from coastal Andhra Pradesh, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

“The cyclonic circulation now lies over north coastal Andhra Pradesh and its neighbourhood at 1.5 to 3.1 kilometres above mean sea level (AMSL). The cyclonic circulation over south Maharashtra and neighbourhood at 0.9 km above mean sea level has become less marked,” the Indian Meteorological Department said.
