Relief from heat for Andhra Pradesh likely as low pressure brews over Bay of Bengal
Andhra Pradesh is experiencing extreme heat, but relief is expected as a low-pressure system forms over the Bay of Bengal. The IMD forecasts light to moderate rainfall across the state starting around September 11.
Why it matters
Extreme heat waves pose significant public health risks, and the arrival of monsoon-related weather is critical for agricultural and daily life stability.
Searing heat conditions, which have gripped many parts of Andhra Pradesh with the highest day temperatures touching up to 42 degrees Celsius, may make way for pleasant weather this weekend as another low-pressure system is likely to be formed over the Bay of Bengal.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), an upper-air cyclonic circulation lies over the west-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining Coastal Andhra Pradesh at 7.6 km above mean sea level. It may intensify into a low-pressure area near North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and South Odisha around September 11.
The IMD said while hot and humid weather may persist in coastal Andhra Pradesh till September 11, the low-pressure system may bring relief from the heat. Light to moderate showers are expected across the State, while isolated heavy rainfall in North Coastal A.P. from September 12 to September 15.
