Heavy Rains Predicted in Andhra Pradesh for Next Three Days, Orange Alert Issued

Heavy rains are likely to lash Andhra Pradesh over the next three days due to a cyclonic circulation formed in the Bay of Bengal, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Officials indicated that this weather system is expected to intensify into a low-pressure area by Friday.

In view of the heavy rainfall forecast, an orange alert has been issued for coastal Andhra Pradesh. Moderate to heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning are likely in parts of coastal Andhra, Yanam, and Rayalaseema districts. Strong winds with speeds reaching 30 to 40 km/h are also expected during this period.

The IMD has advised residents, especially those in low-lying areas, and farmers to take necessary precautions against potential flooding and wind damage. Fishermen have also been alerted regarding adverse sea conditions during this forecast window.
