Low Pressure Impact: Rain with Thunder and Lightning

A well-marked low-pressure area continues to persist over the southwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal, according to officials from the Visakhapatnam Meteorological Centre. An upper air cyclonic circulation extending up to a height of 5.9 km above mean sea level is also prevailing over the same region. This system is expected to influence weather conditions significantly over the next 48 hours.

Under its impact, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Yanam are likely to experience light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds with speeds ranging between 30 to 40 kmph. Officials further stated that the southwest monsoon is gradually advancing and is expected to reach the south Bay of Bengal and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands by the 16th of this month.
