Depression in the Bay may bring isolated heavy rainfall to North Andhra Pradesh
The India Meteorological Department has issued a warning for isolated heavy rainfall in North Andhra Pradesh due to a depression forming over the Bay of Bengal. While northern districts face potential flooding and strong winds, southern regions are expected to remain hot and humid.
Why it matters
Timely weather alerts are critical for disaster preparedness and public safety in regions prone to monsoon-related weather volatility.
While the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had initially given a scant rain forecast for most of Andhra Pradesh until July 30, a fresh low pressure system, formed over Bay of Bengal on Saturday, might bring isolated heavy rainfall to the northern part of the State.
According to the IMD, the low pressure system intensified into a well-marked low pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Odisha-West Bengal on Sunday, and further concentrated into a depression. It was very likely to move northwestwards, intensify further into a deep depression during the next 24 hours and cross North Odisha and West Bengal coasts on July 27 (Monday).
