ScienceTelangana Records 17% Deficient Rainfall in 2026 Southwest Monsoon
Telangana ended the 2026 Southwest Monsoon with a 17% rainfall deficit, receiving 615.5 mm compared to the normal 740.6 mm from June to September. The Telangana Development Planning Society reported this was 38% lower than the 988.3 mm received in 2025. The deficient rainfall is linked to an evolving El Nino, which disrupts moisture-laden winds to India, weakening monsoon conditions.
