The India Meteorological Department has issued a seven‑day alert for heavy rain and thunderstorms across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, warning of possible disruptions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather advisory today, forecasting a continuous spell of rain and thunderstorms over the next seven days for the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The bulletin highlights that the region could experience intermittent heavy showers accompanied by frequent lightning activity.
Meteorologists noted that the system is likely to move slowly across the Deccan plateau, bringing periods of intense precipitation especially in coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh and the interior zones of Telangana. While exact rainfall totals were not disclosed, the department cautioned that localized flooding and water‑logging could occur in low‑lying areas.
Authorities in both states have been advised to activate disaster‑management protocols, including readiness of rescue teams and early warning dissemination through local media. Residents are urged to stay informed, avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm periods, and secure property against potential wind damage.
The alert underscores the need for heightened vigilance as the monsoon season progresses, with IMD promising regular updates should the weather pattern intensify further.
