Weather update on Cyclone Montha
In eastern and southern India, Cyclone Montha’s leftovers are still causing a lot of rain. The system has now weakened into a deep depression over coastal Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring Telangana, according to the IMD on Thursday, October 30. However, rainfall warnings are still in effect for Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Bihar through Saturday, November 1.
IMD alerts in several parts of India
In a number of Telangana districts, the IMD has issued a red alert due to extremely heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds (40–50 kmph). Rajanna Sircilla, Karimnagar, Mahabubabad, Warangal, Hanumakonda, Jangaon, Siddipet, and Yadadri Bhuvanagiri are among the districts that are on red alert.
While Nizamabad, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Khammam, Nalgonda, Rangareddy, Medak, and Kamareddy districts are under a yellow alert, Komuram Bheem Asifabad, Adilabad, Mancherial, Nirmal, Jagtial, Peddapalli, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, and Suryapet are under an orange alert.
