Annamayya District Receives Overnight Rain, Yet Monsoon Deficit Remains 51%

An overnight rain shower in Annamayya district of Andhra Pradesh brought much‑needed relief to farmers and residents. The rainfall, which began after midnight, helped replenish small water bodies and irrigated a few acres of farmland. However, the district’s monsoon deficit remains at 51%, indicating that it has received only about half of the rainfall it normally expects during the season. State meteorological officials have urged residents to conserve water and prepare for the remaining monsoon months. The district’s agricultural output could be affected if the deficit persists.
