Dr. S. Karuna Sagar, a scientist at IMD Amaravati, explained that a cyclonic circulation is positioned over coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam, extending between 3.1 km and 5.8 km above sea level. A new low-pressure area is expected to form over the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal around September 5.

This system is likely to bring heavy rains to isolated parts of coastal Andhra Pradesh until September 7. Additionally, strong surface winds of 30-40 kmph are expected in isolated areas of Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema until September 7.

Heavy rains on August 30 and 31 had already caused significant flooding in many parts of Vijayawada. The anticipated additional rainfall could exacerbate the situation and potentially lead to further flooding, according to officials. The unprecedented rainfall has already impacted nearly 4.5 million people.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts that rain will continue in various parts of north coastal Andhra Pradesh on Sunday.

According to the IMD in Amaravati, the depression will move west-northwestward through Odisha and Chhattisgarh, gradually weakening by Sunday morning.

In response to the heavy rains, officials in the Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) district have relocated families from vulnerable areas for safety.

Due to the persistent rainfall over the last two days, many streams and rivulets in the ASR district are overflowing, causing road closures and uprooted trees.
