The south-west monsoon set in over Kerala today, earlier than the normal date of onset, June 1.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) office in Hyderabad has said that Telangana can witness thunderstorms accompanied with lightning during the next three days, and issued a yellow alert.
The IMD said that these would be pre-monsoon thunderstorms.
While the summer heat has been relatively tempered over the past 2-3 weeks in the State, the showers will still be good news for the citizens.
