Andhra Pradesh is gearing up for heavy Monsoon rains. A fresh Monsoon system in the form of a low pressure area is brewing over North Bay of Bengal. The system is gathering enough moisture at the moment. The state will observe heavy showers, particularly the North Coastal areas.
In fact, Andhra Pradesh has already started receiving some rainfall. Here's a look at the rainfall figures in the state during last 24 hours:
It is worth mentioning that the rainfall recorded in Cuddapah during last 24 hours is not due to the low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. It could be due to the localized thundercloud development.
At present the low pressure area is lying over North Bay of Bengal and neighboring areas. The system is likely to become a well marked low pressure area during next 48 hours. It will keep moving in a westerly direction and reach the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh by August 4 or 5.
North Coastal Andhra Pradesh will receive light to moderate rains at many places over the next 24 hours. Few places could receive heavy rains as well. Whereas, Rayalaseema will receive subdued rains. Thereafter, rainfall will increase over coastal parts of Andhra Pradesh.
As on August 1, Coastal Andhra Pradesh has received excess rains to the tune of 17% and Rayalaseema 58%.
