The Cyclone Warning Centre (CWC) officials said that their Waltair weather observatory centre received 92.1mm of rainfall. Forecasting for Thursday, the CWC stated that a cloudy sky with intermittent rain or drizzle likely to occur at many places in the city.

Since low-lying areas were flooded due to the overflowing of rainwater from the stormwater canals, vehicular traffic was blocked at several areas. The traffic police swung into action to clear the traffic, said Ch. Adinarayana Rao, Additional DCP (Traffic).
“One of our colleagues, Sanyasi Rao, the Aariova traffic sub-inspector and his team made great efforts on Wednesday afternoon in clearing traffic during the heavy rain at Hanumanthawaka Junction,” Adinarayana Rao said.
K Srinivasa Rao, a resident of Hanumanthwaka Junction, said that GVMC authorities must focus on this junction which usually gets flooded when it rains. The water from the hillocks flows on the road and there should be a proper retaining wall along the hills to prevent such incidents from repeat, he added.
