#SouthWestMonsoons --- India is likely to receive below normal southwest monsoon #rainfall in 2026, according to the latest Long Range Forecast (LRF) released by @Indiametdept. The seasonal rainfall (June to September) over the country as a whole is projected at 92% of the Long Period Average (LPA), with a model error margin of ±5%, indicating a weaker-than-usual monsoon. Weather experts noted that probabilities for below normal and deficient rainfall are higher than usual, while chances of above normal or excess rainfall remain lower.

#Hyderabad: Massive #fire breaks out in #Shivarampally A major fire accident occurred on Sunday morning in #SarvareddyColony, Shivarampally (#Rajendranagar Circle).

No casualties reported so far, but significant property damage is suspected. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined. More details are awaited. #Hyderabad #FireAccident #Breaking
