The India Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rain warning for the north coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh as a low‑pressure system moves inland.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed the north coastal belt of Andhra Pradesh under a heavy rain alert. The warning follows the approach of a low‑pressure system that is expected to deepen as it moves eastward over the Bay of Bengal.
Meteorologists say the system could bring widespread showers to districts such as Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam within the next 24 hours. Residents have been advised to stay alert for sudden waterlogging and to avoid non‑essential travel on low‑lying roads.
Local authorities are on standby to activate emergency response measures, including the deployment of rescue teams and the pre‑positioning of sandbags in vulnerable areas. The IMD will continue to monitor the system and issue further updates as the situation evolves.
