The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a warning of heavy rainfall across the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, urging residents to stay prepared.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has projected heavy rain across the coastal belt of Andhra Pradesh over the next two days as a low‑pressure system moves inland. Meteorologists say the system is likely to bring sustained downpours, especially in districts bordering the Bay of Bengal.
Authorities caution that the intensity of the rain could lead to water‑logging in low‑lying areas, disrupt road traffic and affect agricultural fields that are already awaiting the monsoon. Local disaster management teams have been placed on alert to monitor river levels and respond swiftly to any flooding.
Residents are advised to secure valuables, avoid unnecessary travel on flooded routes and stay tuned to official advisories. Emergency services remain on standby to assist communities should the situation deteriorate.
