During the Northeast Monsoon season Andhra Pradesh usually receives rain whenever a depression or a cyclonic storm develops in the Bay of Bengal. Coastal areas receive more rain as compared to the other parts of the state.
However, this time no such intense weather developed in the Bay of Bengal. But, good rains occurred due to a trough extending from the cyclonic circulation up to Andhra Coast. Almost the entire East Coast has received good rains due to this system.
Due to these rains, temperatures have witnessed a significant drop and pleasant weather conditions are being observed. These rains will gradually reduce, however, pleasant conditions will prevail over the region for the next few days.
