The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather advisory, signaling the formation of a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal on November 23. This development could lead to significant weather changes in Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema.
Weather System Details
According to the IMD, an upper air cyclonic circulation is likely to form over the South Andaman Sea and adjoining regions on November 21. This system is expected to move west-northwestwards and develop into a low-pressure area by November 23. It could intensify further into a depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal during the subsequent two days, with its trajectory being closely monitored.
Impact on Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema
The low-pressure system is likely to bring moderate to heavy rainfall to south coastal Andhra Pradesh, including Nellore and Prakasam districts, as well as Rayalaseema regions such as Tirupati, Annamayya, Chittoor, Anantapur, and YSR districts.
- Rainfall Predictions:
- November 26–29: Moderate to heavy rainfall with isolated very heavy downpours.
- November 30–December 1: Light to moderate rains expected to persist over south coastal AP and Rayalaseema.
Advisory for Farmers
The IMD has advised farmers in the affected regions to take necessary precautions and complete the harvesting of crops by November 25 to minimize potential losses due to heavy rains.
Precautionary Measures for Public
Residents are urged to stay updated with weather forecasts and avoid unnecessary travel in areas likely to experience heavy rainfall. Local authorities are preparing to handle any disruptions caused by the system’s intensification and subsequent impact.
As the low-pressure system progresses, the IMD will continue to monitor its movement and provide updates on its potential effects.
