The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh weather alert for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. According to the latest update, moderate to heavy rains are expected to hit both states on Thursday due to the influence of a cyclone forming over the Bay of Bengal. Several districts are already experiencing light to heavy rainfall, with more expected throughout the day.
Cyclone in Bay of Bengal Brings Heavy Rains
A cyclone currently positioned over northern Chhattisgarh is driving significant rainfall across neighboring regions. Odisha and parts of Chhattisgarh are already facing heavy downpours, and the effects of this weather system are now extending to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The IMD has forecasted that moderate to heavy rains will continue in these areas, especially in coastal and northern Andhra Pradesh.
Districts Expected to Receive Heavy Rainfall
Several districts in Andhra Pradesh have already started experiencing the effects of the cyclone. The AP Disaster Management Organization reported that areas such as Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram, Manyam, Alluri Sitarama Raju, Anakapalli, Annamaiya, and Chittoor have already received rainfall. Residents are advised to stay alert as more showers are expected throughout the day.
Another Low Pressure System Developing
In addition to the current cyclone, the IMD has warned of another potential threat. A new low-pressure system is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal by Thursday, which could bring more rain to Andhra Pradesh. While the immediate effects will be felt in coastal Andhra, the entire state could experience light to moderate rainfall due to this new system.
Heavy Rains Expected in Andhra and Telangana
According to the weather forecast, Coast Andhra and Uttar Andhra regions are likely to receive heavy rains, with moderate showers expected across other parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The impact of the current cyclone is being closely monitored by state authorities, who are prepared to respond to any potential flooding or other weather-related incidents.
Safety Precautions and Warnings
In light of the forecast, residents of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are advised to take precautions, especially those living in low-lying areas prone to flooding. The AP Disaster Management Organization has urged people to stay indoors, avoid traveling unless necessary, and follow local advisories. Motorists should be cautious as heavy rain could lead to waterlogging on roads.
Citizens are encouraged to keep track of weather updates and follow the guidelines issued by local authorities. With another low-pressure system developing, it is important for residents to stay informed and prepared.
