After a series of heatwaves, people in Andhra Pradesh can heave a sigh of relief as the worst of the summer this year is likely over if the current weather is of any indication. Many parts of the State received rain on May 7 (Tuesday).
“Isolated places across the State may continue to receive rain for the next 10 days. As per the weather indications, we think the maximum temperatures will gradually drop, though by 2 degrees or 3 degrees Celsius, from now unless there is a dry spell in case of which the temperatures may shoot up again,” said S. Karunasagar, senior scientist at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Amaravati.
“The State may not see more than four heatwaves from now,” he added.
