The Meteorological Department has issued a warning for heavy rains in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana today. The Southwest monsoon has already brought heavy rains to the region, and a low pressure system formed in the Bay of Bengal is expected to make the rainfall even heavier.
The low pressure system, currently 1.5 km above sea level, is expected to cross the Odisha coast near Puri today. This situation has led to a red alert for two districts and an orange alert for twelve districts in Andhra Pradesh. Moderate to heavy rains with scattered thundershowers are expected in several districts, with a chance of light rain in others.
In Telangana, five districts are on red alert while ten districts are on yellow alert. The Meteorological Center in Hyderabad has predicted heavy rain in various parts of the state, with gusty winds of up to 60 km per hour. People are advised to take precautions and avoid crossing flooded streams or canals in low-lying areas.
Fishermen have been advised not to go out to sea. The state government has deployed teams for emergency relief operations, and officials are urging residents to stay alert and be prepared for the bad weather.
As dark clouds hang over Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana, heavy rains are expected to continue for the next few days. Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel during the heavy rainfall.
