Meteorological departments have issued a four‑day rain warning for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana after a low‑pressure area began intensifying over the region.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed Andhra Pradesh and Telangana under a four‑day rain alert, citing the formation of a low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. Forecast models indicate that the system will move northwestward, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall across the two states from Thursday through Sunday. Residents in coastal districts are advised to stay alert for possible flooding and water‑logging, especially in low‑lying areas.
Authorities have urged farmers to protect standing crops and to be prepared for potential damage to agricultural fields. Local administrations are coordinating with disaster‑management teams to ensure that relief measures and evacuation plans are ready if conditions worsen.
The alert follows a pattern of increased monsoon activity in the region, and officials will continue to monitor the system closely, updating the public with any changes to the forecast.
