While Telangana remained in the overall “normal” rainfall category, several districts experienced significant shortages, raising concerns about water availability and agriculture in affected areas."},{"text":"Telangana received 615.6 mm of rain between June 1 and October 1, against the normal 746.3 mm. Of the state’s 33 districts, 15 received normal rainfall, while others recorded deficits ranging from 20% to 43%. Hyderabad itself recorded a 28% deficit. Andhra Pradesh saw an even sharper regional divide, with Rayalaseema recording a 40% deficit, while Coastal Andhra and Yanam recorded a 17% shortfall."},{"text":"The broader picture is also concerning. According to the IMD, India received just 87% of its long-period average rainfall, making the 2026 southwest monsoon the fourth-lowest since 2001. South Peninsular India received only 76% of its normal rainfall. However, the outlook offers some relief: the IMD expects normal rainfall over South Peninsular India during the October–December post-monsoon season, at around 88–112% of the long-period average. The late-September deep depression over the Bay of Bengal also helped improve rainfall conditions across parts of the region."}]}}},"relatedArticles":{"edges":[{"node":{"uid":"barrage-deadlock-rr-turns-to-modi","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Barrage Deadlock: RR Turns to Modi"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/chgui0h5d4feQLIs_modirr.JPG?auto=format%2Ccompress&rect=0%2C322%2C2048%2C1010&w=2028&h=1000"},"datetime":"2026-11-15T15:06:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"gadkaris-political-exit-false","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Gadkari's Political Exit?
