Several parts of Hyderabad were lashed by torrential rain, including Kukatpally, Miyapur, Secunderabad, Chandanagar, Cyberabad, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Hitech City, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Nampally and Abids.
The rain arrived suddenly during the evening rush hour, catching many commuters off guard. Dark clouds covered the city and daylight quickly faded, creating near-nighttime conditions by early evening. Heavy showers, thunder and lightning led to waterlogging on roads, making travel difficult and slowing traffic movement across the city.
