Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Nalgonda, Khammam, Warangal, Nizamabad, and other districts received moderate to heavy rainfall since Thursday.
The incessant rains led to the overflowing of rivulets, canals, and lakes and the submergence of roads affecting vehicular traffic in a few places.
Irrigation projects in the state are receiving heavy inflows due to rains in the catchment areas. Gates of the Komaram Bheem project in the Asifabad district were opened to let the water flow downstream. Medidata, Saraswati, and Parvati barrages under the Kaleshwaram project were also receiving inflows. Authorities opened the gates to release the water.
According to meteorologists, the state is receiving widespread rains under the impact of a cyclonic circulation over northwest and adjoining the west-central Bay of Bengal off south Odisha and north Andhra Pradesh coasts.
