IMD warns of heavy rain, thunderstorms in Andhra Pradesh

India Sep 27, 2025

Heads up if you're in Andhra Pradesh or Yanam—IMD has issued a heavy rain and thunderstorm alert for Saturday, thanks to a weather system over the Bay of Bengal that's likely to turn into a depression by Saturday.
The system is currently moving toward the South Odisha and North Andhra Pradesh coasts, so things could get pretty wet.
