Heavy to moderate rainfall lashed several places in the State on Tuesday due to the upper air cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal off the north of the State.

Several mandals in Kurnool, Kadapa and Anantapur districts of Rayalaseema region and Krishna, Guntur, Nellore and Prakasam districts have received heavy rainfall.

Meanwhile, the upper air cyclonic circulation is likely to develop into a low-pressure area in the coming 24 hours over the west-central Bay of Bengal adjoining Coastal AP region, according to India Meteorological Department’s inference.

Under its influence, most places in the coastal districts of the State are likely to receive light to moderate rainfall for four days from Wednesday.

IMD cautioned that heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely to occur at isolated places in the districts of Nellore, Prakasam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna, Guntur of Coastal Andhra and Chittoor, Kadapa, Kurnool and Anantapur of Rayalaseema on Wednesday.

A similar situation of heavy rainfall might occur in coastal districts on Friday and Saturday and later while the impact in Rayalaseema would become lowered and only light to moderate rainfall is likely to occur in isolated or a few areas during the same period.
