Visakhapatnam: North Andhra Pradesh has been experiencing intense rainfall. Heavy showers keep battering several districts with a fresh low-pressure area forming over the northwest Bay of Bengal off the Odisha coast.
According to IMD, “a well-marked low-pressure area has developed with cyclonic circulation extending up to mid-tropospheric levels. This is expected to move northward, concentrating into a depression within the next 24 hours.”
The weather system, as reported by Skymet website, the southwest monsoon has already advanced over most parts of northeast India.
It advanced further into more parts of Maharashtra, remaining parts of Karnataka, most parts of Telangana, remaining parts of Andhra Pradesh, some parts of Chhattisgarh and Odisha, and the remaining parts of the west-central Bay of Bengal.

Specifically, heavy to very-heavy rainfall is expected in Srikakulam, Parvathipuram Manyam and Vizianagaram districts, while heavy rainfall is likely in Visakhapatnam, Alluri Sitharama Raju, Anakapalli, Kakinada, East Godavari districts and Yanam.
