The forecasted rainfall could help reduce the monsoon deficit in Telangana, which has received 536.5 mm of rainfall against a normal of 664.5 mm between 1 June and 16 September. Hyderabad, with a 21% deficit, may also see improvement. However, thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds pose risks to isolated areas, particularly from 17 to 20 September. The IMD has issued warnings for heavy rainfall at isolated locations on 21 and 22 September, which could lead to localised flooding and disruptions.
