The India Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rain for the next three days across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, urging residents to stay prepared.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather bulletin predicting continuous heavy rainfall over Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for the next three days. Meteorologists attribute the system to a deepening low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal that is expected to move inland, bringing widespread downpours.
Authorities in both states have been alerted and are monitoring river levels and urban drainage systems. Local disaster management teams have been instructed to stand by for potential flash‑flooding and to coordinate rescue operations if needed.
Residents are advised to avoid non‑essential travel, secure loose objects, and keep emergency kits ready. The IMD has also cautioned that the intensity of rain could vary locally, with some districts experiencing more severe conditions than others.
The forecast comes amid an already active monsoon season, and officials have urged the public to follow updates on official channels and cooperate with any evacuation orders.
Preparedness measures, including pre‑positioning of relief supplies and reinforcement of vulnerable infrastructure, are being undertaken to mitigate the impact of the expected heavy rains.
