Low pressure over Bay of Bengal may bring rain to Andhra Pradesh from October 15
All three regions of the State may receive moderate showers from October 15 to 19, says IMD
After a three-week period without rain, Andhra Pradesh may see showers from October 15 as a low-pressure system forms over the Bay of Bengal. The India Meteorological Department predicts this low-pressure area to develop over the southeast Bay of Bengal as a result of upper-air cyclonic circulation in the South Andaman Sea. This could lead to light to moderate rainfall across north and south coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and isolated heavy rain in coastal districts from October 15 to 19.
Thunderstorms and winds up to 50 kmph are also possible. While the overall rainfall deficit in the state decreased during the last week of September due to heavy rains from a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal, it has increased again, reaching 41.7% with all districts in the state experiencing rainfall deficiency. Prakasam district has the greatest deficit at 66.2%.
The IMD also noted that conditions are becoming favorable for the monsoon to withdraw from other regions and for the northeast monsoon to begin in the Southern Peninsula in the next few days.
