Telanganais expected to witness rains after November 21 due to a low pressure and depression forming in the Bay of Bengal under the influence of Cyclone Akvan.

According to weather expert T Balaji, a low pressure system will form on Friday, intensifying into a depression on Sunday, with a 100 per cent probability of developing into a cyclone by Tuesday. The cyclone is likely to cross between Nellore or Ongole and Odisha or Bengal around November 19 to 20. Outlining possible scenarios, Balaji noted a 55 per cent chance of the system moving towards Andhra Pradesh, triggering moderate to heavy rains in East Telangana between November 21 and 24 while other regions remain dry.

A 25 per cent probability towards Odisha or Bengal would keep Telangana dry while easing cold conditions after November 20. A 20 per cent chance towards Bangladesh or Myanmar would cause a severe cold wave with plunging temperatures and dry weather.

Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department forecasted dry weather across Telangana, noting minimum temperatures will remain 2 to 3°C below normal for the next two to three days, continuing until November 18.
