One week after rains subsided in Telangana,  India Meteorological Department (IMD) has again given warning of heavy rain in the State over the next two days.

The weather agency said "heavy rain is likely to occur in Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Nalgonda and Khammam. According to IMD meteorologists, upper air circulation and influx of moisture combined with warm day temperatures is expected to facilitate cloud formation over the next few days."

The IMD also said "the warning could be revised to include Hyderabad and southern Telangana if the weather system witnesses any changes.

The State received near-record rainfall last month due to two spells of downpour. Changes in wind patterns across the country have also delayed withdrawal of monsoon from western India, which is not expected to take place in the State until the second week of October."

On the other hand moderate rain lashed several places in the district late in the afternoon on Friday inundating low-lying areas.

Cool weather prevailed over the district during the day with a cloudy sky. Meanwhile, the inflows into the Sri Ram Sagar Project increased and forced officials to lift 26 out of 42 gates.

They were releasing 1.25 lakh cusecs into the river and about 20,000 cusecs into the irrigation canals.
