Sudden Downpour After Cloudy Days
On Wednesday evening, continuous rainfall drenched the mandal without a break. Although the skies had remained cloudy for the past three days, the region had not received any showers. However, the weather changed abruptly, and heavy rain poured across several villages.
As a result, temperatures dropped, and the ground cooled significantly. Residents welcomed the relief from rising heat levels, but farmers quickly began assessing the impact on their crops.
Mango Crops at Risk
Farmers expressed concern that the unexpected rain could damage flowering in mango orchards. Many plantations are currently in the flowering stage, and excess moisture may affect fruit yield.
