Andhra Pradesh – Telangana Weather Alert: Cyclone Ditwah Weakens, IMD Issues Heavy Rain Warning for Several Districts

Cyclone Ditwah has now reduced into a deep depression in the southwest Bay of Bengal and is no longer a cyclone but still has the potential to create tornadoes. IMD has released information about the continuing possibility of rains, high winds, and even thunderstorms in certain areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana due to the cyclone. 

Heavy rain has been forecasted for most of Andhra Pradesh.

Andhra Pradesh will experience very high amounts of rain in the Fall months due to low-pressure areas developing over the state and surrounding states.  All of the East Coast, including Rayalseema, will experience very heavy rains; counties such as Nellore, Prakasam and Tirupati will experience very heavy rains over the next several days.

The state of Telangana will receive light to moderate isolated rain on the day of publishing.
