Among the rainfall figures reported, Makthal mandal in Narayanpet district received 81.3 mm of rain. Leeja mandal in Jogulamba Gadwal district recorded 60.5 mm, while Pangal mandal in Wanaparthy district received 15.5 mm.
In addition to the immediate weather update, he also shared his extended monsoon forecast. According to his analysis, the monsoon is expected to arrive in Kerala around May 24, with Telangana likely to see its onset by May 27. He attributed the early monsoon push to twin weather systems developing in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, which are expected to drive monsoon winds into the state.

He also predicted a break in the monsoon roughly six days after its onset, likely during the first or second week of June. This would temporarily reduce rainfall across Telangana. However, he added that the weather will remain comfortable, with no significant rise in temperatures during this phase.
The Telangana Weatherman concluded his update by clarifying that the monsoon onset dates are based on his own analysis and criteria, and may not match those issued officially by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). He advised that for official forecasts, people should follow IMD updates.
