Hyderabad woke up to overcast skies on Saturday (July 26, 2025) as grey clouds loomed over the city, eventually giving way to drizzle in some parts and moderate rainfall in others. The early spell of rain led to waterlogging and slowed traffic in several areas.

The Hyderabad Traffic Police reported waterlogging and consequent traffic congestion at key junctions including Ayodhya Junction, Abids, Ranigunj and Saifabad. Commuters experienced delays during the morning rush as water accumulated on several stretches, hampering vehicle movement.
