The regional weather department has issued heavy rain warnings for several districts in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, urging residents to take precautions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an update today indicating that heavy rainfall is expected across multiple areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana over the next 24 to 48 hours. The advisory highlights that the intensity of the rain could lead to localized flooding, especially in low‑lying regions and near riverbanks.
Authorities have asked local administrations to activate emergency response teams and to keep roads clear of debris. Residents in the affected zones are advised to avoid unnecessary travel, secure loose objects, and stay informed through official channels.
The IMD also warned that the monsoon trough moving inland may intensify the downpours, potentially disrupting daily activities and agricultural operations. Continuous monitoring will be carried out, and further updates will be issued as the situation evolves.
