A low‑pressure area over the Bay of Bengal is bringing widespread heavy showers to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, according to the India Meteorological Department.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has identified a low‑pressure system developing over the Bay of Bengal that is expected to intensify rainfall across the coastal and interior districts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Meteorologists say the system is moving north‑westward, drawing moist air from the sea and triggering prolonged showers that began early this morning.
IMD advisories have warned residents of potential localized flooding, especially in low‑lying areas and river basins. Authorities in both states have been instructed to keep drainage channels clear and to alert communities in vulnerable zones.
While the heavy rain is expected to persist for the next 24‑48 hours, the department forecasts a gradual weakening of the system by the weekend as it moves further inland. No severe cyclonic conditions have been reported, but the public is urged to stay updated through official bulletins.
Local administrations have activated emergency response teams to monitor water levels and assist any affected households. The weather update follows a pattern of seasonal monsoon activity that typically peaks during this period.
Overall, the low‑pressure system is a short‑term weather event, and officials anticipate a return to normal conditions once the system dissipates.
