Amaravati: The upper air cyclonic circulation over southwest Telangana and its neighbourhood has now shifted to North Interior Karnataka and adjoining areas of Telangana and Rayalaseema, extending up to 5.8 km above mean sea level and tilting southwestward with height, the Meteorological Centre said on Friday.

In its daily weather report, it stated that a trough is now extending from the west-central Arabian Sea to South Coastal Odisha. It passes through an upper air cyclonic circulation over North Interior Karnataka, adjoining Telangana, Rayalaseema, and surrounding regions at about 3.1 km above mean sea level.

Heavy Rainfall At Isolated Places

Heavy rainfall is likely to occur at isolated places in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam over the next four days, and in South Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema during the next 24 hours.

Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds reaching speeds of 40–50 kmph are likely at isolated places in Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, and Rayalaseema during the next five days.

Light To Moderate Rain

Light to moderate rain or thundershowers are likely at a few places across Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, and Rayalaseema over the next seven days.

Rainfall occurred at many places in Coastal Andhra Pradesh and a few places in Rayalaseema during the past 24 hours, the report added.

Regional Met Department

The Regional Met department has said that the rainfall activity will increase over the Western Ghats area today. The situation is due to an east-west trough which runs from an upper air cyclonic circulation over North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining South Odisha to coastal Karnataka.

Isolated heavy to very heavy rain is likely along the western ghat areas during 13 to 17th, with extremely heavy rain at one or two places over Nilgiris District on 14th and 15th.

The Meteorological Department has predicted moderate to light rainfall in southern districts in the State and a heavy rainfall warning to ghat areas of Tirunelveli, Theni and Kanyakumari districts.

But in the Nilgiris Hills, it’s been raining for the past two days, and a warning for extremely heavy rains has been issued for the next two days.

The District administration has issued an advisory to tourists to check the status of rainfall on official social media handles before travel.

According to the District administration, a 30-member team from the National Disaster Rescue Force and 43 rescue teams from the State force have been kept ready to attend to any eventuality. People have been asked to stay indoors and stay away from taking refuge under trees during the rains.
