The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall alert for four Telangana districts on Wednesday. The southwest monsoon entered Telangana on Monday and conditions are favourable for further advancement of the monsoon into some more parts of the State over the next four to five days, the IMD said.

According to its latest bulletin, heavy rainfall is very likely to occur at isolated places in Vikarabad, Mahabubnagar, Narayanpet and Jogulamba Gadwal districts. Additionally, thunderstorms accompanied with lightning and gusty winds are very likely to occur at isolated places in all 33 districts of the State.
