Telangana is unlikely to see any significant impact from Cyclone Ditwah developing in the Bay of Bengal, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) Hyderabad centre. The system is moving slowly and is expected to affect mainly northern Tamil Nadu and south coastal Andhra Pradesh.

Speaking to The Hindu, Dharma Raju, Scientist at IMD Hyderabad Centre said that Telangana will receive only minimal weather activity as the cyclone approaches. Light rain is forecast across the southern parts of the State for Sunday (November 30, 2025), followed by isolated heavy rainfall on December 1 in four districts namely Khammam, Nalgonda, Suryapet and Nagarkurnool.

“The cyclonic system is currently moving at about 8 kilometres per hour, which has reduced the likelihood of a stronger impact over Telangana. The IMD expects northern Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh to receive comparatively higher rainfall due to their proximity to the system’s path,” said Mr Raju.

He further added that rainfall activity is expected to taper off after December 1. Light showers may occur on December 2, after which conditions will turn dry across the State.

Expect colder nights in Telangana from December 15 marking peak winter
