Officials stated that the system is currently positioned close to the northern Tamil Nadu coast. As a result, coastal Andhra Pradesh is expected to experience strong winds reaching speeds of up to 30 kmph within the next 24 hours.
In view of the emerging threat, authorities have issued a Yellow Alert for districts along the Andhra coast. The IMD has also forecast heavy rainfall exceeding 5 cm in some areas, urging residents to remain cautious and follow official advisories.
