Depression Likely in Bay of Bengal, Rains Forecast in Andhra Pradesh
Weather forecasters think a new storm system may form over the sea near the Andaman Islands.
It could grow into a low-pressure area and then a depression over the Bay of Bengal.
This development is expected to happen over several days, beginning on the 12th.
Rain with lightning is forecast in some parts of Andhra Pradesh.
Other coastal areas may get lighter, scattered rain.
Some districts also had moderate rain recently.
Tirupati and Kadapa were very warm, reaching 38 degrees Celsius.
The Southwest Monsoon is slowly moving away from parts of India.
Forecasters expect to know more about rain in the state after the system develops.
A cyclonic circulation is expected over the North Andaman Sea on the 12th.
The system may become a low-pressure area over the Andaman Sea by the 13th and a depression over the southern Bay of Bengal by the 15th.
Moderate rain and lightning are forecast in isolated parts of Alluri and Polavaram districts, with scattered light rain expected in other coastal districts.
Tirupati and Kadapa recorded highs of 38 degrees Celsius yesterday; moderate rain was reported in five districts.
