The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast rain at a few places in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh on May 13, the polling day, while the Rayalaseema region may see a dry day.
A bulletin issued by the IMD said thunderstorms, accompanied by lightning and winds gusting at 40-50 kmph, are likely at isolated places across the North and South Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam because of a cyclonic circulation over south interior Karnataka and neighbourhood at 1.5-km above the mean sea level.
