IMD warns of heavy rain in Andhra Pradesh
Heads up, Andhra Pradesh! The IMD says to expect heavy to very heavy rain from August 26-30, thanks to a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal.
North Coastal AP (NCAP) and Yanam are in for strong winds—up to 50km/h—and downpours starting August 26, while South Coastal AP and Rayalaseema could see thunderstorms with lightning later in the week.
Red alert for Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli, Srikakulam
A red alert is out for Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli, and Srikakulam today (August 26), meaning over 20cm of rain could fall in just one day.
The heaviest weather will hit NCAP and Yanam first, with heavy rain expected in these areas for two consecutive days from August 27.
The low-pressure system might get stronger as it moves west-northwest, so it's a good idea to stay updated if you're in these areas.
