Visakhapatnam, December 25: The low-pressure area that developed in the west-central Bay of Bengal has strengthened, bringing significant weather changes across Andhra Pradesh. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), this system, located off the south coast and north Tamil Nadu, is expected to move west-southwestward and gradually weaken over the next 24 hours.

In addition to the low-pressure system, a surface depression at 4.5 km altitude is influencing weather patterns across the region. Combined with a western trough moving over North India, the system is drawing moisture and causing widespread rains and a notable dip in temperatures.

Rain Forecast and Areas Likely to Be Affected

The IMD predicts light to moderate rains across the state for the next three days, with some districts experiencing heavy rainfall and thunderstorms:

• December 26–28: South coastal districts may experience scattered moderate rains.
• Nellore and Chittoor Districts: Heavy rains with thundershowers are likely.
• Fisherman Warning: The department has issued advisories against fishing due to turbulent sea conditions.

On Tuesday, light rains accompanied by cold winds lashed multiple districts, including Alluri Seetharamaraju, Vizianagaram, Krishna, Bapatla, Eluru, East Godavari, and Visakhapatnam. Coastal areas experienced cloudy skies and significant temperature drops.

Cold Wave Intensifies

The impact of the low-pressure system has caused temperatures across the state to plummet by 2 to 4 degrees below normal. In some regions like Kalingapatnam, Visakhapatnam, Tuni, and Kakinada, the temperature dropped by 3 to 7 degrees, amplifying the chill.

Ports Under High Alert

The third warning signal remains in place at all ports in Andhra Pradesh as rough seas persist. High waves, reaching up to 5 meters, were observed along the Tirupati district coast on Tuesday.

Weather Outlook

The weather pattern is expected to stabilize by the weekend. Rainfall is likely to subside after Saturday, bringing relief from the current wet and cold conditions. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions.

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.

According to the latest updates from the Meteorological Department, a well-marked low-pressure system remains over North Odisha. It is expected to weaken within the next 12 hours, reducing potential heavy rainfall risks. Additionally, in Yanam and surrounding areas, the lower tropopause is generating northwesterly winds, further influencing weather patterns in Andhra Pradesh.

Regional Weather Outlook

North Coast Andhra & Yanam
The weekend and early part of the next week will bring light to moderate rains at isolated locations across North Coast Andhra and Yanam. Residents may experience brief showers on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, though no significant weather disruptions are anticipated.

South Coastal Andhra
Similarly, South Coastal Andhra is forecasted to have light to moderate rainfall at a few places across the region. The meteorological department indicates that the chances of rain are high over the next three days, particularly in the evenings and at night.

Rayalaseema
Rayalaseema is also expected to see light to moderate rains intermittently over Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. With sporadic showers in isolated areas, daily activities will likely proceed as usual, with mild interruptions from rainfall.

Rainfall Prediction Summary

• Saturday to Monday: Light to moderate rain showers are anticipated at scattered locations across North Coast Andhra, Yanam, South Coastal Andhra, and Rayalaseema.

Residents are advised to stay updated with local forecasts and take necessary precautions in case of any unexpected downpours. The Amaravati Meteorological Center will continue to monitor weather patterns and provide timely updates for any significant changes.

The IMD also noted the persistence of a well-marked low-pressure area over south coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining north coastal Tamil Nadu. This cyclonic circulation extends up to 5.8 km above mean sea level and is tilting southwestwards. It is predicted to move west-northwestwards and weaken into a low-pressure system soon.

Meanwhile, private weather website Skymet has also issued a report stating that the cyclonic circulation forming over the North Andaman Sea may have the potential to evolve into a tropical storm. According to Skymet, the system is expected to move across the Myanmar-Thailand region and enter the east-central Bay of Bengal by October 19 or 20. As it moves towards the central parts of the Bay of Bengal, the circulation is likely to strengthen further.

The forecast highlights that conditions in the Indian seas are conducive for low-pressure systems to develop into tropical storms. The potential for intensification is heightened by the availability of oceanic heat and sufficient sea travel. As a result, the entire coastline from Odisha, West Bengal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar could be vulnerable to the impact of this potential storm, urging coastal regions to stay alert and prepared.

In particular, regions including Prakasam, Kurnool, Nandyala, Anantapur, Sri Sathyasai, YSR, Annamayya, Chittoor, and Tirupati are predicted to receive moderate rainfall on Friday.

Recent weather patterns have already affected Kurnool and Kadapa districts, where heavy rain has led to flooding. Floodwaters have reached the Kalle Vagu bridge in Alur, causing traffic disruptions between Guntakallu and Adoni from midnight until morning. Kadapa district has seen significant rainfall, inundating low-lying areas in the Pulivendula and Kamalapuram constituencies, leaving motorists struggling with standing water on main roads. Tragically, three individuals lost their lives due to lightning strikes in Tummalur, Kadapa district, on Thursday.

In neighboring Telangana, heavy rains are also anticipated, as per the Hyderabad Meteorological Center. Officials predict moderate rainfall in districts including Adilabad, Nirmal, Nizamabad, Janagam, Siddipet, Bhuvanagiri, Ranga Reddy, Hyderabad, Malkajgiri, Vikarabad, Sangareddy, Medak, Kamareddy, Mahabubnagar, Nagar Kurnool, Vanaparthi, Narayana Peta, and Gadwal. A yellow alert has been issued for 18 districts in the state, indicating the likelihood of significant weather events. The Meteorological Department has also warned of gusty winds expected to reach speeds of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.

Residents are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions as these weather conditions unfold over the coming days.
