The weather report serves as a caution to residents of the mentioned districts to be prepared for possible thunderstorms and to take necessary precautions. Thunderstorms can bring hazardous conditions, including strong winds and heavy rainfall, which may lead to flooding and damage to property.
Authorities are advising people to stay indoors during thunderstorms and avoid open areas, tall structures, and any metal objects.

While thunderstorms can be unsettling, they are a natural phenomenon that occurs when warm moist air rises rapidly, creating an unstable atmosphere. Lightning is a result of the electrical discharge that happens within a thunderstorm. The sound of thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of heated air surrounding a lightning bolt.
Residents of Telangana are encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions through official meteorological channels and follow any instructions or alerts issued by local authorities. Being prepared and vigilant can help minimize the potential risks associated with thunderstorms and ensure the safety of individuals and their property.
As the southwest monsoon continues its course, it is advisable for residents across Telangana to keep an eye on weather reports and be prepared for possible rainfall and thunderstorm activity. Taking necessary precautions and staying informed will help ensure a smooth and safe transition through the monsoon season.
