The Indian Meteorological Department projects that the northeast monsoon will arrive in Andhra Pradesh around October 15.
The Indian Meteorological Department has indicated that the onset of the northeast monsoon over Andhra Pradesh is likely to occur around October 15, based on current atmospheric observations.
The northeast monsoon, often referred to as the retreating monsoon, typically brings rainfall to India's southeastern coast, including the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, after the southwest monsoon withdraws.
Farmers and water‑resource managers in the state are closely monitoring the forecast, as the timing and intensity of the monsoon affect sowing schedules and reservoir levels.
The department has said it will release weekly updates as the season approaches, urging residents to stay informed through official channels.
