The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning that another low‑pressure system is brewing over the Bay of Bengal, likely to trigger isolated heavy rainfall in coastal Andhra Pradesh through October 3. The system is expected to intensify as it moves northwestward, enhancing moisture flow into the coastal belt. Thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are also forecast in many areas adjoining the coastline.
The districts expected to be impacted include Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna, Guntur, and Nellore. The IMD cautions that while rainfall may not be uniformly heavy, scattered downpours could lead to local flooding, waterlogging, and disruptions in low‑lying zones. Sea conditions are expected to become rough, with squally winds making fishing and small boat movements hazardous.
Local authorities have been alerted to prepare for contingencies—such as clearing drains, monitoring vulnerable infrastructure, issuing public advisories, and ensuring that disaster response teams are on standby. Residents are urged to stay alert, avoid venturing into flooded areas, and stay informed via weather updates.
This weather development underscores how coastal Andhra Pradesh remains vulnerable to Bay of Bengal systems, particularly during the post‑monsoon transition phase. All efforts are being coordinated to minimize risk and ensure public safety until conditions stabilize.
