A low pressure system developing over the Bay of Bengal is forecast to bring heavy rainfall to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana later today, according to the latest weather updates.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has identified a low pressure area forming over the Bay of Bengal that is expected to move north‑westward towards the eastern coast of India. Meteorologists project that the system will intensify during the afternoon and bring widespread heavy rain to parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Rainfall intensity is likely to reach 50‑80 mm in the affected districts, with isolated higher accumulations in coastal zones. The IMD has issued a yellow alert for the two states, advising residents to stay prepared for possible waterlogging and short‑term disruptions to travel.
Local authorities in Hyderabad and Vijayawada have been briefed and are monitoring the situation. Emergency services are on standby to respond to any flood‑related incidents, while schools and offices in low‑lying areas have been advised to consider temporary closures if conditions worsen.
The weather bulletin will be updated hourly as the system progresses, and the public is urged to follow official advisories and avoid non‑essential outings during periods of intense downpour.
