As per Skymet Weather, these rains were due to the depression that was over west central Bay of Bengal off North Andhra Coast. Due to this, the north coastal stations recorded heavy rains while the southern coastal regions of the state witnessed light spells.

As of now, this system is likely to move in a northeast direction along the Odisha coast and will start weakening after 24 hours. On account of this, the rainfall activity over Andhra Pradesh will reduce though light to moderate rains is still expected to continue over the coastal stations of the state for at least another 24 hours.
