Several parts of Andhra Pradesh are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall during the the next four days up to September 7 due to vigorous southwest monsoon activity over the coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema regions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD), Amaravati, in a release on September 3, said that a low pressure area was likely to form over the northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal during the next 48 hours, even as another cyclonic circulation laid over Andhra Pradesh and adjoining Telangana. Two other cyclonic circulations over Karnataka and Tamil Nadu had become less marked, the release added.
