The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a detailed weather forecast warning of significant rainfall activity across Andhra Pradesh between September 1 and 5. During this period, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds are expected, particularly in north coastal Andhra Pradesh (NCAP) and the Yanam region, for which a red alert has already been declared.
According to the IMD, the week will begin with heavy rains at isolated locations in NCAP and Yanam on Monday, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning strikes over NCAP, south coastal Andhra Pradesh (SCAP), and Rayalaseema. The press release emphasized that the intensity of rainfall in some areas could be severe, with certain pockets experiencing highly disruptive weather conditions.
In addition to the heavy showers, strong surface winds are anticipated from September 1 to 3, with speeds ranging from 40 to 50 kmph. These winds are likely to impact isolated parts of NCAP, Yanam, SCAP, and Rayalaseema. On Tuesday, September 2, a red alert has been issued for NCAP and Yanam, predicting “heavy to very heavy rainfall.” A red alert is considered the most serious warning, signifying the possibility of “extremely heavy” rainfall measuring more than 20 cm within a single day.
The weather system is not expected to relent immediately. On September 3, heavy rainfall is likely to persist in isolated places of NCAP, Yanam, and SCAP, with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds continuing across multiple regions of the state. Moving into September 4 and 5, the forecast indicates thunderstorms with lightning at scattered locations in NCAP and Yanam, accompanied by winds blowing at 40–50 kmph across most parts of Andhra Pradesh.
Meteorological experts explained that these developments are linked to atmospheric changes in the Bay of Bengal. A new low-pressure system is likely to form over the north Bay of Bengal within 24 hours due to an upper-air cyclonic circulation. Furthermore, another cyclonic circulation that was active over the northwest Bay of Bengal near the north Odisha coast has now merged with the existing trough, strengthening the weather disturbance that is driving this spell of intense rainfall.
