The Indian Meteorological Department has warned that showers will continue over the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh and the adjoining Rayalaseema region, prompting authorities to stay on alert.
The Indian Meteorological Department issued a weather bulletin indicating that rainfall will persist across the coastal belt of Andhra Pradesh and the interior Rayalaseema region. Meteorologists attribute the ongoing showers to a low-pressure system moving over the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to maintain moisture influx for the next few days.
Local authorities in the affected districts have been advised to monitor water levels in rivers and reservoirs, and to be prepared for possible flash floods in low‑lying areas. Emergency services are on standby to respond to any incidents arising from sudden water surges.
Residents have been urged to stay informed through official channels, avoid unnecessary travel during heavy downpours, and secure property against water damage. The department will provide updates as the situation evolves.
The continued rain is also likely to impact agricultural activities, with farmers in the region advised to protect standing crops and consider drainage measures where feasible.
Overall, the forecast underscores the need for vigilance as the weather system remains active over the southeastern part of the country.
