Hyderabad: The northeast monsoon began withdrawing over Telangana, marking the seasonal reversal that follows the southwest monsoon. Weather officials said this phase usually brings the last spell of rain to parts of southern and eastern India.
This pattern typically occurs between October and December. It helps Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and eastern Telangana meet their annual rainfall needs. Officials said the monsoon’s withdrawal is now moving steadily across Telangana.
