Andhra, Telangana Weather Forecast: Low Pressure To Bring Heavy Rain From Today

a A low-pressure system has formed over the Indian Ocean, currently designated as 01S, with wind speeds of 65 kilometres per hour. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reports that the system is likely to strengthen into a moderate cyclone and is tracking towards Indonesia. This weather development has led to increased cloud activity over the Bay of Bengal, enhancing the probability of rainfall across the Telugu-speaking states.

According to the IMD, Telangana is expected to experience heavy rainfall from July 17 to 19. Coastal Andhra Pradesh and the Union Territory of Yanam are forecast to receive similar weather between July 18 and 20, while Rayalaseema is likely to see rain on July 18 and 19. Widespread heavy to very heavy showers are also anticipated in Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka through to July 22. Wind speeds across southern India are projected to range between 40 and 50 kilometres per hour over the next five days.

Throughout the week, light rainfall is expected in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Yanam. On July 17, storm clouds from Uttar Pradesh moved southwards in a fan-shaped pattern, resulting in morning showers in the northern districts of Telangana. Rain is predicted to intensify after 5pm and continue until the early hours of Friday, with moderate to heavy downpours likely in several regions, including Hyderabad.

In Andhra Pradesh, similar cloud formations are moving towards the Bay of Bengal, bringing morning showers to northern parts of the state. Rain will gradually spread across the region from 5pm onwards, persisting until around 11pm in Rayalaseema and continuing until 5am in coastal and northern districts. Guntur, Kadapa, and Rajahmundry are expected to receive heavy rainfall on Thursday.

Wind speeds over the Arabian Sea currently stand at 52 kilometres per hour, while Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are experiencing lighter winds of 12 and 11 kilometres per hour, respectively, conditions considered favourable for rainfall. Meanwhile, winds over the Bay of Bengal have reached 38 kilometres per hour. The IMD has clarified that, contrary to circulating reports, there is no low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal at present.

Daytime temperatures are forecast to range between 31 and 34 degree Celsius in Telangana and 35 to 36 degree Celsius in Andhra Pradesh. Coastal regions will remain hot throughout the day, with increased chances of evening rainfall. Humidity levels are expected to remain high overnight, 85% in Telangana and 89% in Andhra Pradesh, likely contributing to heavy overnight rainfall and a wet start to the following day.

Rainfall on Thursday will bring much-needed relief for farmers, as cloud systems from the Indian Ocean converge to provide consistent precipitation over the coming week, a crucial development for ongoing agricultural activities
