# Sirgapur in Sangareddy gets 125% excess monsoon rain 2026-08-10T13:02:22+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Sirgapur mandal in Sangareddy district has recorded Telangana's highest southwest monsoon rainfall this season, receiving 919 mm as of August 10, 125 per cent above its normal of 408 mm. No other mandal in the State has crossed 900 mm so far. The rains have replenished groundwater, filled water bodies, and caused the Nallavagu irrigation project to overflow for four straight days, promising irrigation for 6,500 acres across Sangareddy and Kamareddy districts. Sirgapur recorded 35 rainy days in the first 80 days of the monsoon, almost every alternate day. Farmers now hope for a bountiful harvest, beating the El Nino threat that had parched much of Telangana. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Tags: agriculture, El Nino, Monsoon, Rainfall, Telangana Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sirgapur-in-sangareddy-gets-125-excess-monsoon-rain/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
