The Indian Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rainfall across Andhra Pradesh, coastal Karnataka, Kerala and Mahe in the coming days.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert indicating that heavy rainfall is likely to affect large parts of Andhra Pradesh, the coastal belt of Karnataka, Kerala and the Union Territory of Mahe over the next 48 hours. The forecast is based on an approaching low-pressure system that is expected to intensify as it moves inland from the Arabian Sea.
Meteorologists anticipate that the rain could be accompanied by strong winds and localized flooding, especially in low-lying coastal areas and river basins. Residents in the affected districts have been advised to stay alert, avoid unnecessary travel, and keep emergency kits ready.
State disaster management authorities in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala have been instructed to activate early warning mechanisms and coordinate with local police and health services. The IMD will continue to monitor the system and provide updates every six hours.
