Get the latest state-wise weather report for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for today, August 14, 2025. Expect heavy rains, thunderstorms, and a “red alert” in some districts as a low-pressure system brings a monsoon deluge. Stay safe and informed with our up-to-the-minute analysis.
The monsoon has tightened its grip on South India, with both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh experiencing widespread, and in some areas, extremely heavy rainfall today. A low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal is the primary culprit, pushing an enormous amount of moisture inland and creating a truly wet and wild day for residents. Be prepared for major disruptions, as officials in both states are on high alert for flooding and waterlogging.
Telangana: Brace for a Day of Heavy to Extremely Heavy Rainfall
Telangana is in for a seriously soggy day, and it’s not just a passing shower. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a “red alert” for several districts, a warning that signifies the possibility of extremely heavy rainfall. This means a high risk of flash floods and severe waterlogging, so please exercise extreme caution if you’re out and about.
District-Wise Warnings and Impact
- Red Alert: The districts of Medak, Sangareddy, and Vikarabad are under a red alert, where rainfall could be intense and continuous. Residents in these areas are advised to stay indoors and avoid any non-essential travel.
- Orange Alert: Districts like Bhadradri Kothagudem, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Kamareddy, Mahabubabad, Medchal Malkajgiri, Mulugu, Nirmal, Nizamabad, and Suryapet are under an orange alert. These areas should expect heavy to very heavy rainfall, with potential for significant disruption.
- Yellow Alert: The rest of the state, including the Greater Hyderabad region, is under a yellow alert for heavy rainfall. While not as severe as the other warnings, this still means that traffic, power, and daily life could be affected.
Local authorities and the irrigation department are on high alert, monitoring water levels in dams and canals to prevent breaches. The administration has urged residents to stay away from overflowing streams and open drains.
Andhra Pradesh: Coastal Areas Face Torrential Downpour
Across the border, Andhra Pradesh is also dealing with the monsoon’s fury, with a particular focus on the coastal regions. The low-pressure area off the coast has been dumping relentless rain, leading to chaos in several districts since last night.
Heavy Rainfall Disruptions in Coastal AP
- Coastal Andhra Pradesh & Yanam: This region is under a heavy rainfall warning for the next few days. Districts like Guntur, Palnadu, and NTR have already seen significant rainfall, with low-lying areas and roads submerged.
- Infrastructure Impact: The torrential downpour has already impacted daily life, with train services being affected and key roads becoming impassable due to waterlogging.
- What to Expect: The IMD forecasts that the low-pressure system is likely to intensify, bringing even more intense rain to parts of Coastal Andhra and South Odisha over the next 48 hours.
